5. Information from Dave Noyes regarding a possible township website. The manager and secretary stated that the county is also offering to provide a web-platform for townships. After the manager and secretary gave details, I recommended that the township use the county’s web-platform instead of the site I proposed.

I also repetitioned the board to release draft minutes to the public, stating that I know that Manor Township and another township in Chester county release draft minutes. Supervisor Horst mentioned that he is concerned of the spreading of misinformation if there would be errors in the draft minutes but also mentioned that he would not be against it if the solicitor said it was ok. I stated to the board that the manager had said after my first request for the release of draft minutes that the solicitor said it was up to the board to decide. The manager said he does not recall saying that and would ask the solicitor again. A day after this meeting (2/25/02), I wrote a letter to the supervisors again requesting the release of draft minutes, stating the problem of not having a timely public record of meeting motions/decisions that are made which are effective immediately.

The recycle center needs to give some acreage for the expansion of the sewer plant. This will reduce the amount of unused recycle center land currently rented to a farmer for $175/acre per year. I t was discussed that the rent does not pay for the taxes and that when the land is taken for the sewage plant there will not be much left to rent. It is uncertain whether or not they will rent out the little remaining.
