Correspondence – No Act 14 Notices received in March for proposed well pads.  Notice received from the County with information regarding a No Burn Ban in effect until May 2, 2015.  The no-burn ban is also noted on the board outside the fire station.  An email was received from WPX advising of the sale of their leases to SWN Energy.

Public Comment – It was asked if SWN Energy is any more active now that they have the former WPX sites.  Evan Everitt said he has noticed some of the signs have been changed but otherwise it seems to be just maintenance activities.  The township has not received any further information from SWN Energy.

There were concerns regarding the number of potholes on roads.  It was advised for any state roads, residents should contact the state with the locations of the potholes.

Francis Fruehan said the tax notices had been printed incorrectly.  New tax bills have been printed and mailed.  John Nagy did an excellent job getting the new notices out so quickly.  Anyone that paid before the new bills were mailed will be reimbursed. Francis Fruehan made a motion that John Nagy will be reimbursed for the cost of the postage that he paid to get the bills out and will then try to get reimbursed from the county for approximately $500, Evan Everitt seconded, all approved.
