Coaldale Borough Council began asking for finance and activity reports from the Coaldale C.H.O.S.E. organization in November.

It still hasn’t heard anything.

During Tuesday’s council meeting, members authorized borough Solicitor Robert Yurchak to send a letter to the group seeking the information.

They’re also asking - again - that security cameras purchased with borough funds be returned.

“Again, no response from C.H.O.S.E.,” council President Claire Remington said. “Nothing about activities. Who are the board members? Financial status?”

The group is headquartered on borough-owned property near the Coaldale Complex.

On its Facebook page, C.H.O.S.E. notes that it is “a nonprofit organization that holds fundraisers to raise money so we can hold activities for the community children and to improve our towns playgrounds.”

In previous years, C.H.O.S.E. organized events for the area’s youth such as a Christmas tree lighting, visits with Santa and a Halloween party. In 2023, it held a Rock the Block event but nothing else.

“They’re doing nothing for the kids right now,” Remington said.

The organization had also frequently reported its financial and recreational activities to council.

Council hasn’t heard anything in quite some time.

“What’s going on? Where are our cameras? We want our cameras back. Those cameras should be hooked up on our garage,” Remington said.

She noted that council already sent a certified letter to the group asking for information and the cameras.

Council also briefly discussed charging the organization rent for using the property and using a portion of the Coaldale Complex for storage.
