Robinson supervisors to meet
Robinson Township supervisors will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. tonight to address personnel matters related to the township budget.
Board Chairman Rodger Kendall said the township’s general fund has fallen below $24,000 after paying March bills. He said the meeting would address potential cuts and other ways to “adjust financial expenses” each month.
“At the moment, we’re still in a little bit of financial distress,” Kendall said. “In the long term, we cannot survive if we don’t make some adjustments.”
The board is waiting on a refund of more than $776,000 from Pennsylvania American Water after cancelling a contract for a water line extension project. Supervisors also voted to approve a $50,000 tax anticipation loan until the money is returned.
Kendall said supervisors would address any other issue that may come before the board. He said he hired an attorney to draft a new version of the township zoning ordinance that was adopted in December. He acknowledged it is a work in progress and hopes it will be ready to present to the solicitor by tonight’s meeting.
