Scribe: Your Humble Scribe™ Invocation/Inspiration: Becky Hanks At the Last Meeting October 17, 2017 Your Humble Scribe™ was present and taking notes. In a blatant attempt to “earn points,” Billy the Pez rang the bell at EXACTLY 12:30 to begin our meeting. He displayed a photo of a baseball player and asked what happened on this day in 1835. Of course, no one knew. Turns out the Texas Rangers moved from outlaws to law enforcement. Nothing about baseball after all! With that, Harry Williams led us in an “Exciting” Pledge of Allegiance with no one taking a knee (that I could see). Ryan Rehberg was AWOL (despite Billy the Prez having a Disney graphic on the big screen), so Andy Wangstad delivered an inspirational quote: “Nobody makes you angry; You decide to use anger as a response.” Well, isn’t that true.

    NEW ISSUE—BOOK-ENTRY ONLY RATING: Moody’s: “Aa3” (Underlying) (See “RATING” herein) In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation and is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, although Bond Counsel observes that it is included in adjusted current earnings in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income for taxable years that began prior to January 1, 2018. This opinion of Bond Counsel is subject to continuing compliance by the School District with its covenants in the Resolution and other documents to comply with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable regulations thereunder. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”) as presently enacted and construed, the Bonds are exempt from personal property taxes in the Commonwealth and the interest on the Bonds is exempt from the Commonwealth‘s Personal Income Tax and the Commonwealth’s Corporate Net Income Tax. The Bonds are “qualified tax-exempt obligations,” for purposes and effect contemplated by Section 265 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (relating to expenses and interest relating to tax-exempt income of certain financial institutions).

    BOROUGH NEWSLETTER Spring/Summer 2018 President’s Message from Susan Naugle We are pleased to bring back the Borough Newsletter after a two-and-a-half-year absence due to budget cuts. There are only a few ways, in a small community like Borough Council ours, to keep residents and property owners informed about what is happening in Mayor: local government. The printed newsletter is a great companion to our much-improved Theodore Streeter website and yet another way to provide a more open government. As I was working on the Newsletter to update council member information, I was First Ward: reminded of how much has changed since 2015. Back then, we had nine council Wesley Heyser members – three from each ward – and Borough Manager Charles Gable was barely Patricia Lawson one year into his job. Today, we have a seven-member council with only two members, Jacob Schindel and myself, still in our council seats. Ted Streeter has Second Ward: replaced long-time Mayor William Troxel and Charles Gable is now a four-year Jacob Schindel veteran as manager. All this got me to think about how much change impacts local Christopher Berger government. Change is constant. Elected officials come and go, and new personalities often result Third Ward: in new directions and different visions. Changes in federal and state laws place new John Lawver requirements and mandates (often unfunded) on borough government. Staff changes Charles Strauss sometime require the shifting of responsibilities and training new personnel. Every day brings unexpected challenges and opportunities making it almost impossible to At-Large: control the workday.

  • Hello. My Name Is Jeff Topper and I Am the President of the New Oxford Social and Athletic Club

    Hello. My Name Is Jeff Topper and I Am the President of the New Oxford Social and Athletic Club

    Hello. My name is Jeff Topper and I am the President of the New Oxford Social and Athletic Club. This other gentleman is Cork Livelsberger, our Club manager. We are a private social club located in the small town of New Oxford (pop. 1,784) in Adams County. We are here today to support House Bill 1313. The way the current Small Games of Chance Law is written and applied is not an equitable law for the private clubs across the Commonwealth. The larger clubs are held to the same gaming earnings limits as the much smaller clubs. Currently, our club has 3200 members with another 800 people on our waiting list. There are also several other clubs of our size, or larger, in our area. Comparatively, your average VFW, Am Vets, and other smaller clubs average about 300 to 400 members. Yet, all the private clubs in Pennsylvania are held to the same gaming limits. Why should the larger clubs be held to the same maximum earning limits as clubs one tenth their size? Obviously, with so many more members, we have the potential to make a lot more money for our community, grow our club and hire more people. And what do we do with that money? We give 60 per cent away (as required by The Small Games Act) and try to operate our business on the other 40 per cent. We don't mind giving a required percentage of our gambling earnings to our local charitable organizations. Actually, without us giving money to many of the organizations in our area, they would have a hard time operating, if even able to operate at all.
