Factoryville council authorizes signing of millage certification for 0.5-mill EMS increase
Summary
The Factoryville Borough Council authorized signing of a Wyoming County millage certification documenting a 0.5-mill increase for emergency medical services and approved the manager’s monthly report, which included audit preparations, a lost pension check, and a trail project funding recommendation.
Factoryville Borough Council on Jan. 5 authorized Borough President Bill Edwards and Borough Manager Shannon Cantner to sign a Wyoming County Assessors 2026 millage certification that documents a 0.5-mill increase for emergency medical services.
Manager Shannon Cantner presented the monthly manager’s report and outlined several administrative items. She said the borough received the millage certification and that signatures were required to complete the process. Council member D. Engler moved to allow Edwards and Cantner to sign the certificate; Gregg Yunko seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Cantner also told the council that auditors have begun sending questions and materials to start the borough’s 2025 audit, and that she will be completing multiple DCED reports due in January and February. She reported the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System lost a borough check for $917.48 and requested a stop payment and replacement check; the system agreed to cover the stop-payment fee.
On the Trail project, Cantner said the borough received notice of delays with the Department of Environmental Protection. Solicitor Paul Litwin told the council he has contacted the project engineer and recommended covering the additional funds required from Park Board funds to keep the project moving. The council approved the Manager’s Report by unanimous vote.
The council’s action to authorize signature on the millage certification completes the administrative step recorded by the county assessor; the certification itself sets the EMS millage at 0.5 mills. The council did not discuss rescinding or altering the millage increase during the meeting; no formal appeal or public challenge was recorded.
