PAGE 4 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, October 24, 2010 By EILEEN GODIN Dallas Post Correspondent An anti-fracking ordinance put Harveys Lake Borough Council in a thoughtful mode while bids were opened for gar- bage services and the sale of a police cruiser. With gas drilling inching clos- er to the borough, resident Mi- chelle Boice pushed council members to consider adopting an anti-fracking ordinance Tues- day night. Fracking is a proce- dure gas companies use involv- ing chemicals and a sand mix- ture to fracture the Marcellus Shale to release the gas. Boice said Licking Township in Clarion County approved an Council antifracking ordinance last week. She suggested council ar- range a meeting with Shireen Parsons of the Community En- vironmental Legal Defense Fund, an organization that pro- vided Licking Township with its ordinance. Council member Rich Wil- liams said he has Parsons’ phone number and a copy of the Licking Township ordi- nance. Talking amongst them- selves, council members believe this ordinance to be a similar draft of the one discussed Mon- day night by Lehman Township supervisors. The generic ordinance threat- ens a municipality will separate from higher levels of govern- “The big threat is the gas company will sue. Be sued or be sick.” Michelle Boice Harveys Lake resident ment if municipal decision to ban the fracking process is de- clared invalid by county or state government. Council member Ryan Doughton said council will have township solicitor Charles McCormick review the ordi nance before members discuss the pros and cons. “The big threat is the gas company will sue,” Boice said. “Be sued or be sick.” After the meeting, McCor- mick said he was familiar with the ordinance from the Commu- nity Environmental Legal De- fense Fund and feels it is a high- risk move. He said he was aware of one municipality that deemed the ordinance to be un- constitutional. “The organization is a non- profit, activist group,” McCor- mick said. “Council has to weigh these issues, including the liability to the community. The risk is fairly evident.” In other news ... e Two sealed bids were opened for a three-year recy- cling contract with the munici- pality. Two bids per company were offered, including one with pick-up at the maintenance building and another for curb- side pick-up.
