Public commenter raises concern about school district TVs at township electronics recycling event

During public comment at the Huntington Township Planning Commission April meeting, planning commission member Marlon Enser asked whether televisions from Bermudian Springs School District could be left at the township's electronics recycling event. The request prompted a resident to question whether Enser had district authorization and whether accepting school district equipment at the township event would breach existing waste‑hauling contracts.

Enser identified himself as "facilities maintenance" and wastewater/drinking‑water systems operator for Bermudian Springs School District. He said the district pays to recycle electronic devices and that a township take‑back could save taxpayer money. A resident (name given in transcript as a public commenter) said Enser made the request without district authorization, warned that Huntington Township and the school district have separate contracts with Waste Management, and said commingling devices could breach contractual provisions.

The resident said they had contacted the district business manager (referred to as Mr. Priak in the discussion) and had a copy of the school district's contract. The resident urged that planning commission members not use their appointment to the commission in a manner that could appear to favor the school district or to risk breaching contracts. Enser replied that there was no ill intent and that his inquiry was meant to save taxpayers money.

The commission did not take formal action on the matter during the meeting and noted the question raised in public comment, saying any change that would involve school‑district property would require proper authorization from the district and review of contract terms.
