Christine Scheufele of 287 Runningboard Road asked the Board to shed some light on an ad she saw in the paper regarding a sewer service meeting for February 18.

Pat Schaub of 16630 Green Valley Court expressed concern. She is the newly elected tax collector and stated she is having problems getting information from the previous tax collector. After much discussion, it was decided that Ms. Schaub would come pick up the tax collector laptop and sign the release from the  Township, in order to access the records she needs.  Phil Robertson commented on the sewer capacity meeting that Ms. Scheufele questioned earlier in the meeting. He discussed his own experience with hooking up his Shrewsbury Township properties to a sewer in New Freedom. Two years ago, he was approached by New Freedom to pay costs and get a grant in order to hook up to the sewer. Mr. Robertson completed what they asked however, New Freedom still had concerns and research to complete prior to the hook up. New Freedom acknowledged that Mr. Robertson completed what he was to complete and New Freedom needed to enter into an intergovernmental agreement in November 2015. Mr. Robertson stated the meeting to be held was Sewer 101. He had previously attended that meeting and stated there were many inaccuracies. He compiled his own portfolio with the sewer 101 information and his experiences and legal records to prove the inaccuracies,  which he handed to the Board.
