JACKSON TOWNSHIP Supers extend sewer project * By SARAH HITE shite@mydallapost.com Supervisors reorganized and approved an extension of a sewer relocation project Tuesday night. Supervisor John Wilkes Jr. was reappointed as chairman and Su- pervisor Al Fox was reappointed as vice chairman and treasurer. Fox was also sworn in at the meeting for another term on the board. Rick Rose was reappointed as vacancy board chairman. The board approved the follow- ing appointments for the Back Mountain Regional Emergency Management Agency: Harry Vi- vian as chief, Wilkes as deputy chief, James Welby as assistant chief and Barney Dobinick as as- sistant chief. The following appointments were made to the township emer- gency management agency: An- drew Salko as coordinator, An- drew Sholtis as deputy coordina- tor and Tim Bernick as second deputy coordinator. Gregory Supey was appointed as the township engineer. The board appointed the Dal- las Area Municipal Authority as the board’s sewage enforcement officer. A 1.75 percent raise was ap- proved for non-uniformed and non-contracted employees. The board authorized a dona- tion of insurance payment and sewage fees for the township vol- unteer fire department. Meetings were scheduled for 6 p.m. on the first Monday of the month in the municipal building, with the exception of meetings in May, September and November. Gene Salko was appointed to the zoning hearing board and Da- vid Roskos, Jack Jones and James Mahon were appointed as alter- nates. Tracey Haffner-Damario, Wal- ter Billings and Joseph Stager were appointed to the planning commission, with Mitchell Smallow serving as an alternate. At a regular meeting that fol- lowed, Solicitor Jeff Malak told supervisors he is still trying to contact representatives from Larksville Borough about the re- payment of road maintenance fees after the two municipalities ended a 49-year agreement for the maintenance of Steele Road in November. The agreement was terminat- ed after Jackson Township was not compensated for years of maintenance work done on the road. Malak is trying to contact the borough in order to avoid litiga- tion. The board also approved an ex- tension for the Hillside Road sew- er relocation project to the end of January. Wilkes said the town- ship is waiting for an approval from the county engineer. The project has been ongoing since 2006 when heavy rains overwhelmed the sewer lines near the Hillside Bridge, causing flooding of nearby properties. The next meeting of the Jack- son Township Board of Supervi- sors will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 6 in the municipal building.
