Penn Forest Vice Chairman Phillip Shedaker tendered his resignation from the board of supervisors before Monday evening's meeting. Shedaker cited personal reasons for his decision.

"We have 30 days to fill his spot," said Chairman Warren Reiner. "We are not going to discuss this any further this evening."Also on the agenda at the meeting was a proposal by Logan Farnell to install and landscape a flagpole at the township park. Farnell is a member of Troop 555 and is Reiner's grandson. He said he will raise the money for the project through donations and fundraising. The project was approved and will begin in June.Supervisor Christine Fazio made a motion to add a state flagpole as well.When the floor was opened for public comment, Maria Walker addressed the supervisors. Walker has been to several meeting in the past few months in response to an automobile crash last November that took the life of her friend Richard Biscardi."We are so pleased and grateful for the traffic study, the lighting and the signage in the area," said Walker. "You did this so quickly, we can't thank you enough. We know Richie is looking down and is grateful to you for what you have done."Biscardi's father, Guy, was also present to thank the supervisors, and in true South Philly, Italian tradition, delivered a bag full of cannolis to the supervisors."It won't help Richie," said Biscardi. "But it might help someone else, and that is important."The township will be advertising for road paving and line painting. The plan is to pave Wargo Road and to tar and chip Meckesville Road. The township will also paint 21 miles of road.The township also appointed Rick Tweed to the recreation committee. Tweed will be the Jim Thorpe School District representative to the committee.
