The Moore Township Board of Auditors held a reorganization meeting Jan. 8.
There are three auditor positions. Members are elected positions in the township.
Mary Schmoyer, board member, was appointed temporary chair of the board of auditors. She promptly passed the baton to David Lack, who unanimously became the chair of the board of auditors.
Lois Iasiello was elected secretary, with Schmoyer assuming the role of auditor.
The board annually completes the audit of the township finances. The township does not employ a CPA firm to complete this work. The board of supervisors can hire a CPA firm if it desires a professional audit.
Supervisor Richard Gable said the board “does a great job.” Also present at the meeting was David Shaffer, board of supervisors vice chairman.
Under regular business, the minutes of the Jan. 3 meeting were accepted unanimously.
Lack questioned the pay rate for the road master.
“I thought there are no paid supervisors,” Lack said, regarding full-time work.
Supervisors can work part time.
A motion was made to keep the rate at $20 per hour and the supervisor doing the work, for example plowing snow, must punch in and out to track time.
Before 2019, supervisors could hold a full-time job with the township. The full-time work for supervisors was a contentious issue in the 2017 municipal election. The board of supervisors passed a resolution in January 2018 that no supervisor can hold a full-time position with the township.
In other business, the board of auditors was to have started auditing the 2018 township finances in early February. They need to complete their work by April 1. The audit is filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
