Correspondence:
Mark read Dan’s road report. A Dirt and Gravel grant was submitted for Hunsinger Road for $86,000. Work on Olzsewski Road is complete. SWN wants to build the road from Ebbs Corner Road from the King pad to Booth Road. They are working up a price for topping the rest of Booth Road to Milk Can Corners. They will be drilling Bolles South and they will be pumping water from the King pad to Bolles. The estimated cost is around $180,000.
We received a driveway permit application from Angelina Gathering Company, LLC for the Bolles pad.
SWN sent a notification for a permit to drill in New Milford Township.
PA DEP sent notification for the Montrose Hillbillies II, LLP Minor Subdivision.

New Business:
Mark and Jeanne explained the some of the problems that were discovered in the last two months.
-PA UC quarterly reports hadn’t been filed since June 2014.
-PSATS UC quarterly reports had not been filed since 2015.
-Late payment fines assessed for US Dept. of Treasury were paid.
-Problems with QuickBooks
Jeanne interviewed 3 payroll services. Erin Jenner from Angelo Ventresca Associates will be doing the payroll starting this week. She has experience working with municipalities and is aware of an amnesty program that may reduce the fines. She will also set up a fresh set of QuickBooks. Since the township’s laptop and scanner/fax/copier do not function properly, new equipment will be purchased along with a new version of QuickBooks. A payroll account with Peoples was opened by transferring $10,000 from the General Account. Mark made a motion for the bank account, to outsource payroll and equipment and QuickBooks purchases. Charles seconded the motion.
Mark made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Charles seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 8:03.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeanne Sullivan
