(1/19) The Adams County Tax Services Department sent a $300 check to the wrong entity, resulting in the actual recipient having to reimburse the intended recipient for the incorrectly allotted money.

The Hamiltonban Township Board of Supervisors noted at their February 18 meeting that the error was discovered during "an audit exercise," during which it was determined that Hamiltonban Township was sent a small $300 check for delinquent taxes that was intended for Hamilton Township."

Supervisor Coleen Reamer noted, "We are cutting a check to Tax Services to reimburse Hamilton Township for the error."

In other business, the township supervisors approved a motion to proceed with the proposed Gum Springs Road repairs by preparing bid documents relating to paving the roadway with two inches of basecoat and one and one-half inches of topcoat. Bids will be awarded at the April 7 meeting.

The board also noted there are several areas in Orrtanna Village where the township would like to have more streetlights installed and staff will be contacting Met Ed to discuss proposed locations.

Also approved was the purchase of a supply of traffic cones and oil dry for our maintenance facility. The township also agreed to supply 20 bags of oil dry for the Fountaindale Fire Company.
