I was asked whether Northampton County was supporting the implementation of Act 4. I did some research about Northampton County position on this matter.
Just a quick summary of the discussion of Act 4 at the Forks Board of Supervisor meeting held on February 7, 2008. According to the Forks Action Commitee (FAC) BoS meeting summary; Maria Bentzoni said that they are requesting that the Forks Board of Supervisors support Act 4 and HB 87. Act 4 allows for a millage freeze for preserved property at the rate in effect at the time that the last entity signs on. Three entities must sign - the county, the township and the school district. So far the Northampton County is "on board." She is currently working with both the EASD and the (Nazareth) NASD.
Additionally, Act 4 was discussed at the October 18, 2007 County Council meeting. The meeting minutes indicate that both Lehigh and Northampton County passed Act 4.
If you have any ideas or comments about critical issues facing Forks Township, please share your ideas via our blog.
Get Involved – Every Voice Counts!
