the water and sewer operators every month. He was informed by Supervisor
Bumbaugh that his preference is for the operators to attend the meetings and
give a verbal report. After a lengthy discussion, Supervisor Gunder suggested a
viable alternative would be for the immediate supervision of these operations
to receive the monthly reports; review them, and if there is anything significant
in the report, it could be brought before the Board for remediation. Supervisor Bumbaugh reported that again this year
there was no tax increase in the approved budget. Solicitor Fenicle informed the Board that he gave the
appraisal for the Saddle Club property to their solicitor. He has not received a response back yet. There was no final public comment. The meeting
