Tobyhanna Twp.

Continued from page 1 jawing at each other, Tutrone told Carbone to “shut up” which led to the gavel being brought down by supervisors’ chairman John Kerrick to put a stop to it. Tutrone continued, and Kerrick directed him to leave the meeting. Tutrone exited with a police officer escort still working to make his points.

Prior to the argument, Tutrone asked again for a meeting between station 41 and the township, and was answered by township solicitor Harry Coleman that contacts need to be through the attorneys involved, due to litigation.

Named to Phi Kappa Phi

Nicole Stabile of Blakeslee was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Stabile was initiated at Kutztown University.

Stabile is among approximately 25,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Plans to put Tobyhanna Township Fire Company station 44 into service are moving ahead. Volunteers have stepped forward.

A ban on open burning in the township is in force. (It has since been lifted.)

Other business included unanimously confirming the appointment of Crystal Butler as assistant township manager, increasing township manager Robert Bartal’s debit card limit to $2,500 (for items where payment can save the township money), and the Planning Commission’s recommendation for a hearing for an Act 167 amendment.

Manager Bartal reported that Penn Strategies has secured another $15,000 grant for the township park. The money will be used to buy a UTV for park maintenance purposes. Assistant manager Butler explained that there are 500 applications for Short Term Rentals in hand of 637 in process. Of these, 128 licenses have been issued, and 26 were “almost done.” Asked about others, she said there are 130 STRs known to be operating (without the township license) and there is a process underway to contact each and every one.

Tobyhanna Supervisors meet next on May 1, at 6 p.m.
