Mr. Monzo can be present.

2. Township Budget and Proposed Budget Amendments – Council arranged for

a date for a Special Meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 2nd, at 6:00
pm

3. Sewer Rate Ordinance – Attorney Hartsough said he would have an

Ordinance the following evening. He also said that the township
could extend the grace period if the ordinance wasn’t passed before
the April 1st tax bills go out.

4. Tax Levy Waiver Resolution – Chris Jack presented Council with two
scenarios. He checked with DCA about utilizing $500,000 in surplus
and without special permission from DCA, it could not be included in
the two scenarios. Attorney Hartsough wanted to know if one of the
scenarios included what the budget would look like without the need
for a levy cap waiver. Chris Jack commented. The only way we
wouldn’t need a levy cap waiver is if DCA allows the township to
utilize the surplus. Ms. Wollert asked that Harry Haushalter be
invited to the regular meeting the following evening to enter into
Executive Session and discuss the pending litigation.
