tly = & ) 9) J be @ The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 28,2000 5 Borough has new zoning officer, and new pay plan By ELAINE SLABINSKI Post Correspondent HARVEYS LAKE - The bor- ough has a new zoning officer and a new way of compensating him. Milton Lutsey was appointed zoning officer at the June 20 meet- ing of borough council, with com- pensation of 80 percent of per- mits and fines issued. His posi- tion will include a six month pro- bationary period. Richard Haas, Chairman of the Ordinance Re- view Committee was directed to develop a job description for the new zoning officer. Four sealed bids were opened for the 2000 paving project. Fol- lowing the engineer's recommen- dation, American Asphalt Paving of Shavertown was awarded the contract with a low bid under $60,000 and an alternate bid of 82,227.50 for the Old Lake Rd. Correspondence from Pasonick Engineering gave council an esti- mated figure for the new mainte- nance building, with revisions, of $275,000 in building costs and $20,000 engineering fees. Their fees would include code inspec- tions and other ongoing work during the actual construction. In reference to the building project, Millie Monk asked if the borough had applied for any grants and how many grant appli- cations were approved for 1999. Councilman Dan Hanson gave a summary of their efforts to date. Mrs. Monk pointed out that Housing and Urban Development had funds which could have been used for such a project, but “I know that HUD has divided up the money for this year.” She suggested that they contact John Matusek in the county office to get applications for the future. George Andrews, council presi- dent explained why the borough hadn’t received a grant. “There is no full-time borough administra- tor to research grants,” he said. “Anyone in the community who knows sources, please call us and let us know.” Hanson said Karen Boback had been awarded a $1,000 scholar- ship for each of her four years of college. In order to qualify, the student needs a 3.5 grade point average and a letter of acceptance to college. He should be con- tacted by January of 2001by any- one interested in earning next year's scholarship.

By BILL GOODMAN Post Staff LEHMAN - The Lake-Lehman board of school directors passed a budget with a no tax increase at the Tuesday, June 20 meeting, but not without opposition. The budget passed 5-4. The motion was read by Angelo DeCesaris and seconded by Lois Kopcha. DeCesaris, Kopcha, Robert Allardyce, and James Kapitula voted against the budget. “I can tell you right now I'm not voting for this. We're not follow- ing procedure,” said DeCesaris. DeCesaris pointed out that spe- cific budget hearings were to be held as part of policy, which the board was not following. School district solicitor Peter Savage noted that the public has always had an opportunity to give input on the budget. “Just because we haven't done one (a hearing) in the past doesn’t make. it right,” said DeCesaris. DeCesaris also wanted to raise the penalty on unpaid taxes higher than the current rate of 10 per- cent. "We're budgeting a mil as less than what it should be be- cause of delinquent taxes,” said DeCesaris. Savage read the law, which states that 10 percent is the maximum penalty. The board also set the date for payment in rebate for September 8, and the last day of payment in face as November 7. The budget listed total expen- ditures . of. $17.847.953, $10,964,714 of which was bud- geted for instruction, and revenues from local state and federal sources of $17,697,953. Includ- ing the unreserved fund balance of $1,800,000 the total revenues are $19,497,953. The real estate millage was set at 221 mills for the properties in Luzerne County, and 42 mills for Noxen Township in Wyoming County. School Board business manager Kathleen Will- iams said that the final fund bal- ance figure would not be known until auditors examined the fig- Tell our advertisers you saw them in The Dallas Pos..

The board also saw a presenta- | tion from Kurt Rose of PSBA con- sultants about the board’s search for a new superintendent. Rose said PSBA would help the board recruit and advertise for the posi- tion opened when Dr. William Price announced his resignation last month. The consultants would help the board formulate search criteria, and would have staff, stu- dents, and the public meet with | the finalists. Moderno Rossi hoped | to find a replacement in four months, but Rose suggested a six month search. If the chosen can- didate was. employed at a school a or university, they could leave gracefully between semesters, he said. The board also authorized Wil- liams to request proposals for software that reports and calcu- lates transportation data. Last week the board received a presen- tation from Advanced Manage- ment Systems, a company that sells such software. “A system will give us accurate information . forequitablereimbursements,and will accurately map student's whereabouts,” said Dr. William Price, the outgoing superinten- dent. In an executive session, the board interviewed two candidates for interim superintendent, then approved Robert Roberts, princi- pal of the Lake-Lehman Middle Level School. Roberts will earn $325 per day, and start as super- intendent July 1. The next regular meeting for voting purposes will be held on Tuesday, July 11 in the Lake- Lehman high school auditorium at 7 p.m. Yesterday She Threw Her Dentures Away. (Today...
