a lot of money.’”’ Engineer-
ing studies of the bridges
are required by PUC, which
we have to pay for, also
legal studies. ‘‘Engineering
and legal costs have sky-
rocketed,’’ he says.
Mr. Groff’s greatest satis-
factions while being a public
servant have come from
providing recreational facili-
ties for young people. Most
recently, he has been
pleased to derive $10,000
from the Community Devel-
opment Funds to build the
new park in Westview,
where so much development
has occurred.
Earlier, he was pleased to
get $20,000 to complete the
Mount Joy Borough Park.
An avid fan of local
sports, Mr. Groff attends all
the ball games in the park,
as well as the Donegal
school athletic events. As a
student at Mount Joy High
School, Mr. Groff played
basketball. He does not
watch athletic events on TV;
he is strictly a fan for local
athletic events in which local
young people can partici-
pate.
He realizes that the
federal government has
been instrumental in provid-
ing many improvements in
the community, including
the parks. The largest
federal con‘ributions to
improvements in Mount Joy
have been for storm sewers,
which, of course, the
borough needed very much.
He believes that the
Creekside apartments being
proposed with the backing
of the federal government
are the federal govern-
ment’s way of asking Mount
Joy to repay the government
for all it has done for the
borough. “My feeling is
that something for nothing
is always paid for in the long
run. Now they are asking us
to pay for what they have
given us.” Charles Patter-
son, head of redevelopment
in Lancaster County, has
strongly implied that fund.
ing for community develop
ment in Mount Joy will be
cut off, if the residents of
the borough will not permit
the building of Creekside for
low income families.
Mr. Groff has always
been active in county-wide
associations of municipal
officials. He believes that
his participation in these
associations has been very
helpful to him as a local
official. Other boroughs
have problems similar to
Mount Joy's. Ideas are
exchanged between officials
on how to cope with
problems. For example,
Manheim, like Mount Joy
has had a flood problem.
Moreover, there are good
speakers, often from the
state government, at the
association meetings, from
whom local officials can
learn.
Personally, Mr. Groff is
opposed to rent subsidies.
He thinks that the rents
proposed for Creekside and
the profits that will be made
from the subsidized rents
are too high.
As a borough councilman,
Mr. Groff always made of
point of personally checking
out any complaint he
received from a resident,
“Maybe 1 couldn't do
anything about it, but at
least I tried to show some
concern for people’s prob-
lems. Public relations is the
key to being a good
councilman,” he says.
As a Mount Joy resident
told The Susquehanna
Times, ‘‘We're going to
miss Omar.”
