The Ross Township Park will soon have its own little library for visitors to leave a book or take a book.

“It’s adorable and looks like a little house,” said Chairwoman Tina Drake at the Sept. 13 supervisors meeting.

She asked Ethan Brewer, road foreman, to get a stake for the little library to set atop.

“It would be nice on the front corner of the pavilion on the side closest to the township building. Put it in so it’s facing the parking lot,” she said.

Martha and Tony Rezeli donated the library, which was built by their great-nephew Logan Meckes.

Later in the meeting, Drake announced three community Halloween events.

Attendees and their four-legged or two-legged pets are encouraged to come in costume to the annual Ross Township Pet Parade at 11 a.m. on Oct. 30.

While it is usually dogs parading around, there have been a few years where chickens have come dressed up with their owner.

Drake said that families can trick-or-treat in the township from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 31.

The West End Park & Open Space Commission and West End Fire Company will once again host a drive-thru trick-or-treat event at the firehouse on Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. The firehouse is located on Route 715 in Brodheadsville.

In other business

• Supervisors received some initial figures to fix the slate roof on the Flyte Schoolhouse. Because the estimate is about $24,500, it has to go out for bid. Bids will be opened and discussed at the Oct. 4 meeting. It has recently been nominated as a historic building by the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office. A vote will occur on Oct. 5.

• The township will hire two part-time people to help with snow removal and plowing this winter.

• The township is in the process of updating its permits fee schedule. Supervisor James Zahoroiko has done research on neighboring municipalities’ fee schedules and will draft a sample of possible increases to share at the next meeting. The supervisors said the current rates are barely covering the cost of what is needed to be done and the township is absorbing the rest.

• The township will replace one of its aging dump trucks and are gathering quotes. It may be more than a year before the truck arrives; factory production is out about 18 months due to a lack of parts.
