HARVEYS LAKE BOROUG H Council members are at odds over need for part-time police chief By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent The creation of a new part-time police chief administrative posi- tion put council members in the hot seat on Tuesday night. Firing away with questions, residents asked why the position was needed, if it would hinder po- lice coverage and what benefits were being offered. Council President Lawrence Lucarino said the position re- quires 30 hours a week with a sal- ary of $30,000. Health benefits would not be offered, allowing for a savings of $24,000. Council member Betty Jane West said there are personnel is- sues within the police depart- ment which cannot legally be dis- cussed at this time. NEYT MELCTIND NEAT MEETING The next Harveys Lake Borough meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21, at the munici- pal building. “These problems have been go- ing on for quite a few years,” West said. Residents questioned council members as to the difference of a “working police chief” versus an administrative one. West said an administrative police chief would handle the massive amount of pa- perwork and work a rotating shift to check on other officers. Trying to help clarify the situa- tion for all, Michelle Boice, the mayor’s wife, said the new posi- tion would not leave residents unprotected.

Council member Clarence Ho- gan then made a motion, before the meeting adjourned, to -ap- point Charles Musial, a board member and police officer, full- time police chief. Holding the majority with four votes, council members Diane Dwyer, Edward Kelley, Lucarino and West voted against the mo- tion, stating correct procedure must be followed. In other news, Fred Rosen- crants of Luzerne County 911 gave an update on the 911 re-ad- dressing of properties. Rosencrants said the project was contracted out to a company called GeoComm from Minneso- ta. He said GeoComm staff would visit Harveys Lake Borough with- in the coming weeks to make a GPS point at every pole number. “The pole numbers will not change,” he said. “They will serve as a landmark.” Kathy Liljequist of GeoComm, said staff members will contact borough officials when they en- ter the area, stating their goal is to confirm unmarked home ad- dresses and use pole numbers as landmarks. “If an emergency is reported, residents should try to provide the pole number if possible,” she said. The old box and rural route numbers will be gone, Liljequist said, and new addresses with street names will be assigned. See CHIEF, Page 14 Dr. Michele L.
