Weisenberg Twp. board officers remain the same for the new year

Weisenberg supervisors met Jan. 7 for their annual re-organization meeting.

The Second Class Township Code requires all townships of that class to re-organize on the first Monday of every year, and to appoint and reappoint certain township positions.

First on the agenda was the organization of the board.

Bob Milot will again serve as chairman with Linda Gorgas as vice chairman.

Donald Breininger returns as township secretary/treasurer; Tony Werley as roadmaster and James Werley as assistant roadmaster.

After much deliberation, a pay raise was designated for the office staff and road crew; sick days and holidays remained the same as the previous year.

The roadmaster was allowed to hire temporary help, if needed for a period of up to 30 days.

Keystone Consulting Engineers, Wescosville, was appointed township engineer. Don Lipson was designated solicitor.

Primary Sewage Enforcement Officer is Chris Noll with Carl Wolfe as alternate.

Milot, Gorgas, Breininger, Tony Werley and Brian Carl were appointed representatives to the annual state convention. Gorgas will be the voting delegate.

Breininger was named to the vacancy board. Barry Isett and Associates will be the firm responsible for building inspections.

The membership on the Building Code Board of Appeals will remain the same.

Milot was given permission to work on the walking trails in the township.

These trails extend from the Weisenberg Township Volunteer Fire Company to the Warren Peters property on Route 863. Another trail extends from the tecreation field on Lyon Valley Road to a spot along Route 863.

Treasurer's bond was set at $1 million.

Meetings will continue to be held 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month.

Keystone Engineering was designated as the township's health officer and Breininger will be the open records officer as well as the Earned Income Tax Collection Commission representative to Lehigh County.

The Press previously reported the six townships were working on a driveway ordinance.

Tony Werley stated there was discussion about driveway ordinances but there would not be a comprehensive ordinance for use by the six townships.
