Halifax Township's Board of Supervisors held a brief Special Meeting on February 23, 2017, called to order at 7:18 p.m. by Chairman Kenneth Bechtel. Supervisors Brad Bruner and Randy Paul were present in person, while Steve Schreffler participated via telephone conference; Scott McBurney was absent. The meeting was called to handle two pending administrative items and adjourned in under 30 minutes.

  • Tax collector's compensation rate set for 2018 and beyond: The board unanimously approved (4-0) a resolution establishing the tax collector's rate going forward. This item had been revisited from a February 2016 meeting, meaning it had been pending for approximately a year before final action.
  • Lettich & Zipay appointed to audit 2016 financial records: Supervisors unanimously approved (4-0) a resolution engaging the Pottsville, PA firm Lettich & Zipay to conduct the audit of Halifax Township's 2016 finances.
  • Upcoming business flagged: The board noted several items for the next regular meeting, including Act 537 planning, a Kolish stormwater management application, and an executive session to be held before that meeting.
