Tidioute making progress following sewer plant hit-and-run
Tidioute Borough is working to repair a fence and tank hit last month in a hit-and-run accident.
During the borough council’s most recent meeting, it was announced that an insurance check had been received and an agreement with Penn Fence for repairs was put in place.
The site was damaged Dec. 19. At the time, the borough said the vehicle involved was a Toyota Four Runner with a “Tidioute” front license plate.
The borough has been working with state police and believes it knows who committed the hit-and-run.
In other business, an agreement for a one-year extension with the Tidioute Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Service was approved for 2024 at a rate of $9,401.28.
The borough transferred a police cruiser to Polk Borough and received $6,000 for it. Removal of the vehicle from borough insurance was approved.
Phase two of the borough’s road project was approved. The municipality hopes to put the work out to bid by March.
Prior to the meeting, the borough held its annual organizational meeting.
Returning council members Cindy Paulmier, Steve Morrison, Trisha Hulings and Aaron Schmidt were sworn in. Dave Manning was appointed president and Morrison was appointed vice-president.
Other appointments included:
— Anita Nicholson as vacancy board chairman
— Stapleford & Byham to serve as solicitor
— Stiffler McGraw to serve as engineer
— Todd Fantaskey to serve as sewage enforcement officer
— Shawn Young to serve as constable
— Mayor Henry Brown and Manning to serve as check signatories
