Wagner, Vice airman of the Dallas Town- ship Supervisors, has been named Chairman of the COG. Representing the last out of the four member municipalities to join, Wagner said the poten- tial for savings was the deciding factor. “All in all it's going to save the taxpayers money, that's why: I'm in it,” said Wagner. Carl Goodwin, COG" Vice irinan, said the township's participation is significant be- cause it makes the COG’s boundaries contiguous. The three other municipalities that have joined are Kingston Township, Lehman Township Borough. Asked @ Dallas : hether Harveys Lake was in- terested, Goodwin responded: “No they haven't applied and I don’t know how well it would be Patrols “All in all it’s going to save the taxpayers money, that's why I'm in it.” Frank Wagner Vice Chairman, Dallas Township Supervisors Chairman of the COG .ship’s initial concerns. received.” Goodwin explained that the ongoing lawsuit by the Harveys Lake Municipal Authority against Dallas Area Municipal Authority (D.A.M.A.), was the predominant reason for the current member's feelings. “Since we're in effect being sued by Harveys Lake Municipal Au- thority,” he said. The: D.A.M.A. situation was the reason for Dallas Town- “We had a little trouble with municipali- ties cooperating. For instance Harveys Lake — they're in the municipal authority, but they don’t pay their bills,” Wagner said. Wagner said he presented an ultimatum: “I said I wouldn't go, if it (COG) said Harveys Lake would be a part of it.” Wagner said he believes the formation of the COG is just the first step toward more regional- ization that someday will in- clude, for example, the combin- ing of police forces. r “I think you're going to see one Back Mountain police de- partment. I don’t think I'll see it, but it’s coming,” he said. Goodwin said initial discus- sions about the formation of a COG. grew out of the Dallas Vi- sioning exercise 2002. The jgially been in COG has mew 4 existence since Lehman Town- ship approved the articles of agreement earlier this year. Originally a topic of interest among more than the four cur- rent members, municipalities still pondering whether to join include Franklin and Jackson townships. At the May 13 meeting, offi- cers were chosen. By way of a (continued from page 1) gional basis is in and of itself natural.” “If motorists see four extra police cars, one would think it may slow them down.” The police chiefs wouldn't be specific about how many cars would be where and at what times. They said, however, mo- torists could see up to eight cars along the corridor at any given time. Balavage and Carl Goodwin, Vice Chairman of the Kingston Township Board of Supervisors, said the idea came from Dallas Borough Mayor Tim Carroll. Carroll said he was prompted by the fact that driving on the shway has become “an expe- nce — it's like the little Schuylkill Expressway,” he said.

Although the idea was born in the COG and is sponsored by the group, each municipality's police department, in agreeing to participate, also agrees to pay the cost of the extra man- power. Robert Jolley, Dallas Town- ship Police Chief, said he sees this as the beginning of coop- eration between the four de- partments. He said other pro- jects such as joint D.U.L. check- . points, could come in the fu- ture.
