ANNOUNCEMENTS
A meeting on the MS4/Stormwater program will be held at 6:00PM on July 20th
PUBLIC COMMENT
A resident provided handouts concerning an issue he’d raised at a previous Supervisor meeting. Township Solicitor Gary Asteak said the documents could be accepted.
A resident thanked the UNT Police officers for being ‘very good to her’ when she called them about two young boys trying to break into her house. She also recommended that residents not leave their cars in the driveway with the remote for the garage door inside, claiming there’d been a burglary in Tatamy and that people should lock their doors while they are mowing their lawns. She also requested that the township hold a tree lighting ceremony in December.
