Hearing of Visitors:  None

Correspondence:  Tony Gashie noted that he will contact Brian Lake to get  permit numbers and needed information to submit a grant with the borough.

Water report:  Judith Hamlin reports she called and left a message, but has not received a report or a check for January 2026 collections.

Secretary Report:

Judith Hamlin reports that there is a balance of $­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­1,834.25 in an account that was used to make the Penn Vest loan payments.  Judith called community bank and was told that one of the three people on that account needs to come in to the bank, close that account ad deposit it into the main authority bank account.  Bill Monahan is the only one of the three still on the board and he agreed to take care of the matter.

Selective Insurance issued a notice of cancellation because they had not received the check in a timely fashion.  Judith Hamlin called and it was back in re-instatement, but there is a issue of the mail not reaching them in a time.  Judith suggested, and it was agreed that Judith will arrange to make the payments online starting next month.

Judith notes that the Windstream telephone bills do not seem correct.  She is waiting for more statements to arrive to try to sort them out.

It is noted that the DCED LSA grant signature emails will be being sent to Tony and Bill.  They have not been received as of this meeting.

Treasurer’s Report:  See attached

Bill Monahan made a motion to accept the Water report, Secretary Report and Treasurer’s report.  Seconded by Tony Gashie.  All in favor

Operator’s Report:  Michael Hardison, JR reported the Flow Meter and computer system was installed and is all working properly.  Calibrations have been completed.  Block heaters were installed. 

Engineer’s Report:  Brian Lake was not available, but Michael Hardison reported that Brian and he had been following up with the Tina Reed complaint.  It appears that the issue was with their lateral line and he believes they have made a repair.

Legal:  Kevin O’Malley reports he spoke with SPWA.  The monthly sewage bill per customer is $45.00.  If it is late, the bill is $49.50.  The late fee is then paid to the authority.  There is a $2.00 billing fee charged to the authority for each collection. 

Kevin asked about a mailing to all customers informing them they are responsible for their lateral lines.  Kevin will ask SPWA to provide a data base and he will prepare a letter to be sent.

Kevin went over the new bi-laws.  Board members will review and will put adoption and the resolution on the agenda for the next meeting.

A motion was made by Denny McIntire to accept the Operator’s, Engineer’s and legal reports.  Seconded by Bill Monahan.  All in favor.

Old business:  Judith Hamlin had those present sign their ethics forms for this year.

New business:  none

Motion to adjourn made by Bill Monahan at 6:57 PM.  Seconded by Trudi Monahan.
