J Sunday, May 29, 2011 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 7 LAKE°'TOWNSHIP Supervisors will join in regional emergency agency By EILEEN GODIN ~ Dallas Post Correspondent Supervisors unanimously agreed during a meeting held May 11 to join in an intergovern- mental cooperation agreement with other Back Mountain com- munities to create a regional emergency management agency. The resolution to participate in an agreement with neighboring Back Mountain communities, combining emergency manage- ment resources, was adopted ear- lier this year by Jackson Town- ship, Lehman Township, Dallas Borough, Dallas. Township and Kingston Township. The cost-effective agreement allows municipalities to combine emergency equipment and re- sources to provide mutual aid for fire, EMS, rescue, Hazmat and other emergencies. Supervisor chairman Lonnie Piatt said Barney Dobinick, the township’s emergency manage- ment coordinator, learned of oth- er municipalities adopting the agreement and presented a copy of the resolution to the supervi- SOrsS. ¥ “The agreement will allow us to work together: dur- ing emergencies.” Lonnie Piatt Lake Twp. supervisor “The agreement will allow us to work together during emer- gencies,” Piatt said. With public safety on their minds, supervisors also met with area fire and ambulance compa- nies to better define emergency coverage. Piatt explained a dis- crepancy existed on which com- pany, Harveys Lake or Sweet Val- ley, covers Sorber Mountain Road. It was determined Sweet Val- ley Volunteer Fire and Ambu- lance Companies will cover one end and Harveys Lake Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Companies will cover the other end. Fire company representatives requested that all township resi- dents display their 911 house ad- dress numbers clearly. House numbers should be at least three inches in size to be legible from the street. Also, Dobinick stepped down as the code enforcement officer, citing scheduling conflicts be- tween serving as both the code enforcement officer and the emergency management coordi- nator. Piatt was appointed to assume the position of code enforcement officer until the end of the year. In other news, Piatt said the Luzerne Conservation District will provide assistance in repair- ing two township roads. The agreement would require the Lu- zerne Conservation District to contribute $3,146.40 for work to 430 feet of Bear Hollow Road and $6,930 for work on a dirt road lo- cated in state game lands, section 57. The agreement requires the township to contribute about $7,000 for the two projects, ac- cording to Piatt. dan Herken hy " Sat.
