Schuylkill Twp. supervisors discuss quality of life ordinance violations

At Schuylkill Township’s public meeting this month, Brian Seip of New Ringgold requested the board’s plan of action for a property on Back Street in Mary D. that is not up to code with the Quality of Life ordinance in place.

The board informed Seip that the Code Enforcement was addressing the situation, however, there was no information available because Chief Frank DiMarco was not present. The board also did not receive a report regarding the quality of life violations.

Supervisor Charles Hosler read the roadmaster report, stating the borough patched potholes, cut roadsides, fixed flags, repaired washed away roadside, trimmed trees and had maintenance done to town equipment.

Supervisor Frank Fabrizio, also of Remember When Video, donated more flags to the township.

In other business

• Due to Chief DiMarco’s absence, the permit portion of Section 103 of Ordinance 2000-1 was tabled to be discussed at the next town meeting.

• It was recommended by Attorney Joe Baranko of Slusser Law Firm that the township should get the sewer authority’s specs regarding the pipes on Back Street to better analyze the drain issue.

• Supervisor Charles Fayash said he received numerous complaints regarding the problems with Atlantic Broadband’s internet service and asked Baranko if the township could do anything to help. Baranko suggested they could send a complaint letter to the company.

• No zoning permits or UCC building permits were issued in July.

• Baranko said he will have an updated garbage contract bid by the end of the week so the board can vote on the advertisement of the bid at next month’s meeting.
