Elected Auditors - Set Supervisor 2010 Rates

Reprinted from the FAC website:   On January 5th, Forks three Elected Auditors met in private for 10 minutes with Township Solicitor Karl Kline. Afterwards, they held their re-organization meeting, elected a chairperson, and discussed and set the 2010 wages for Supervisors who are employees of the Township.

This year's working Supervisors are Robert Egolf, Secretary/Treasurer of the Board of Supervisors and Michele Rogers, part time Community Center monitor. 

There were questions about job descriptions and whether to freeze the rate of Ms. Rogers and thus there was considerable discussion.  But because other part time monitors are getting a 4% raise it was decided to give her the same negotiated 4% increase - taking her rate from $12.16 to $12.64/hour.

Mr. Egolf's annual pay is to be the same as last year at $2,271.  The Elected Auditors have the option of holding an additional meeting should Egolf's duties be reduced.  Currently, he signs checks and attends the Finance & Administration Committee meetings.  Other Supervisors also sign checks - without additional pay.

The Elected Auditors are Sandy Hanks, Chair, Sandra Wideman, and James Craig.

Elected Auditors - Held the line on increases!

On January 6, 2009, after absolutely NO discussion before the public, the Forks Elected Auditors voted to hold the line and keep the 2008 salary levels for both Supervisors who work for the Township.

The meeting began 25 minutes late and lasted all of 3-1/2 minutes.  Yes, the auditors were indeed there on time - even a little early - for the scheduled 7:00 PM start.  First though, they met behind closed doors with Township Solicitor, Karl Kline, and then... for approximately 15 minutes they met by themselves. 

When they emerged from their private session, they approved minutes from the January 2008 meeting, elected Elizabeth Casapulla as 2009 chairman, and Sandra Wideman as 2009 secretary. 

The auditors had two salary issues before them, that of Secretary/Treasurer of the Board of Supervisors, Bob Egolf, and that of Community Center Manager, Don Miller.  In both instances, the votes were 2:1 in favor of maintaining the 2008 salary levels.  In other words, NO RAISES.  The nay votes were cast by auditor Jim Craig.

For 2009 the Secretary/Treasurer will earn $2,271 and the Community Center Manager will earn $43,000. 

There was no public discussion by the auditors, no input from the audience, and after 3-1/2 minutes, the meeting was adjourned.  Yes, 3-1/2 minutes!
