New mayor at Penn Lake Penn Lake Park Borough met again via Gotomeeting on October 14. Mayor Deborah Krysicki resigned, sending a letter that she would end her term on September 30. Council reluctantly accepted. Tom Carter has sent a letter and his resume to council, expressing interest in serving as mayor. Council appointed Carter to serve as mayor until the next election. He was then swornin by the Judge Richard Hughes. In citizens’ comments, Bob Moser complained that County Waste will not provide him with larger trash and recycle bins. They also won’t pick up his bagged garbage because of his too small containers. Former mayor Deb Krysicki forwarded the August Police Report which detailed 28.96 hours of service, with four traffic violations, two EMS assists, and a burglar alarm response. Council president Paul Rogan wrote a letter of support on behalf of Penn Lake Borough for the White Haven LSA 2021 grant application towards the White Haven Area Community Library and Visitor’s Center. Kathy Donaldson thanked the Penn Lake Garden Club their work. Donaldson feels last month’s council meeting was ‘chaotic’ and was disturbed by verbal attacks by
some council members directed toward another member. She calls for a general decorum of respect and civility from everyone. Donaldson also thanked the former mayor for her exceptional years of service, and is sad to see her step down. On behalf of the Crestwood School District, borough solicitor Jack Dean asked Penn Lake to enter into an intergovernmental agreement to allow the use of a stop signal arm enforcement system on school busses allowing a photograph to be taken of any vehicle that overtakes a bus. In reports, Rogan and Dave Longmore held a meeting with the paving company that will pave the borough roads after AQUA water main replacement project is done. They asked AQUA that two new sewer connections, for Larry Oliver and Cheryl Rohl, get completed before the road is resurfaced. Member Shawn Kuter complimented the work performed by Shiffer Bituminous for paving and pothole patching. Regarding the dam, Rogan applied for a Dam Safety HHDP grant which could be a funding option. A resolution was passed to pursue a FEMA Grant not to exceed See PENN LAKE, page 6
