Mr. Summiel stated that according to Administration this Resolution would save
the township approximately $60,000 a year. Mayor Ball commented between
$60,000 and $75,000 a year. Mr. Summiel stated that wherein the
government is providing a service to the people, that the utilities should be of
such nature that whatever the costs are, they should be at cost to the
municipality. He says it is not a big bang for our dollar. We should be
pursuing an avenue of an approach that would allow the municipalities an
exemption from this kind of cost so that we would not incur cost beyond cost
or competitive cost for the use of electricity that serves the publics interest.
Mr. Cox asked if this would preclude the township from going solar.
Attorney Hartsough commented that it would not.

STATEMENTS AND COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR

ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA

Veronica Taylor (111 Louisana Avenue) questioned a petition that was sent in
January requesting 2 hour parking on Louisiana Avenue. The Mayor did not
remember seeing it. President Murphy instructed the Clerk to put it on the Old
Business List. Mildred Russell (119 King Avenue) also commented on the 2 hour
parking.

Mr. Green (979 Bear Tavern Road) talked about the amount of people complaining
about trash. He wanted to know what they were complaining about – trash, brush,
etc. Mayor Ball responded. Ron Dykus (170 Upper Ferry Road), George Stewart
(30 Gilmore Road), Caroline Stewart (30 Gilmore Road), Trish DeCello (10
Chelmsford Drive), Kevin Baxter (42 Shelburne) all commented on the brush and
trash pickup or lack of pickup. Mr. Cox commented that a plan needs to be
developed and all rules need to be followed. It needs to be publicized to everyone
and college students need to be notified. Mr. Steinmann commented that a large
percentage of homeowners do not recycle and it ends up costing the township more
money because it is being taken to the dump. Mayor Ball stated that a brochure
needs to be made up and distributed and a meeting at the fire companies should be
scheduled to educate the public.

There being no further business, President Murphy called for a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Steinmann so moved, seconded by Mr. Cox. The meeting was adjourned at
8:35 pm.
