Road Master report read. Lemon Hill Rd has been dragged. Financial report available for review.
There was a discussion of the solicitor coming to the hearing when it is rescheduled.
Randy asked about wifi hot spot. Discussion on how that has to be done.
Chad Thomas from Donegal township was present to discuss the following resolutions he hopes can be passed:
- No state mandated church closures
- No state mandated business closures
- No state mandated mask order
- No mandatory stay at home order
- No vaccine mandate

He feels these all should be decisions made at the local level, not the state. This is a discussion that we will need to have again and will be brought up with the solicitor if the Supervisors decide it is something we would like to move forward with.
Reita Melvin from the McGuffey Area Revitalization Group contacted us and would like to attend a future meeting to update us on the progress of their project. Pam will get that set up.
