Millersville council approves safety manual update, zoning appointment and biannual newsletter program
Summary
At a borough council meeting, Millersville councilors accepted the March financial report, approved an updated Accident and Illness Prevention Program manual, appointed Ed Hirsch to the Zoning Hearing Board and authorized a biannual newsletter contract through Hometown Press.
Millersville Borough Council approved four routine items during its meeting: acceptance of the March financial report, adoption of an updated Accident and Illness Prevention Program manual, the appointment of Ed Hirsch to the Zoning Hearing Board, and authorization to execute a biannual municipal newsletter contract with Hometown Press.
The actions were presented in committee reports and under the manager's recommendations and were carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition noted in the transcript. The council’s motions included an authorization for staff to satisfy ordinary and routine borough obligations for the month and final approval of a safety manual updated to comply with guidance from the borough’s workers’ compensation carrier.
A finance committee vice chair moved to accept the March financial report and authorize staff to satisfy ordinary and routine obligations; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The personnel committee brought forward an updated Accident and Illness Prevention Program manual — updated using a template from the borough’s workers’ compensation carrier, Susquehanna Municipal Trust — and council voted to approve finalizing that manual. The manager said the update is required periodically to remain in compliance with rules from the carrier and to pursue borough certification as a certified safety committee, which can lower workers’ compensation premiums.
Council also approved the appointment of Ed Hirsch to the Zoning Hearing Board for a term ending in February (year not specified in the meeting record). The appointment motion received a second and was carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition or abstentions in the transcript.
Finally, council approved executing a biannual newsletter program produced by Hometown Press. Borough Manager Rebecca said the only borough expense would be postage, estimating, “The postage would be about $600.” The motion to proceed with publishing twice yearly was seconded and carried by voice vote.
All four items were treated as routine business and passed without roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript. The council adjourned at the end of the agenda.
