You may buying your last gifts of the holiday season, or just starting your holiday shopping. It seems the local governments are hard at work finalizing their 2009 plans. Here is a quick summary of the December 18, 2008 meetings.
EASD Board Meeting - The Facility Utilization Committee will make its final presentation to the school board. The committee will be presenting the re-districting plan and the 6 year capital program. This program includes $83.5M in capital spending over the next 6 years. Most of the money will be spend between 2009 and 2014. Additionally, the committee recommended about $1.1M in the administrative building improvements and $849,000 for the EAHS 25th street pool. I did vote for the capital plan recommendations. Given the state of the economy, the school board should delay the capital expenditures until the credit markets are restored to some sense of normalcy. The meeting is scheduled for December 18, 2008 at 7:30 PM. The meeting will be held at the high school senior cafeteria.
Forks Township BoS - The board will be considering the 2009 budget and hold a Conditional Use hearing for The Brake Shops of Lehigh Valley, Inc proposal to operate a automotive repair facility in Forks Township. Additionally, the BoS will discuss the 2009 budget. The proposed 2009 budget has revenues $7.365 with expenses of $7.49M. This will result in a net income loss of $126,543. The meeting is scheduled for December 18, 2008 at 7:30 PM in the Forks Township municipal building.
On a personal note, the mighty Rovers of the Easton High Swimming and Diving team will face one of their arch nemesis - Emmaus High School. This meet will feature some of the top swimmers in the state. The meet is schedule for December 18, 2008 at 4:00 PM. The swim meet will be held at Emmaus High School.
Go Rovers!
