Patrick Leyland pressed the board on the need for broadband internet in the township, requested attention to reassessment and a tax collector wage increase, and also raised Community Building hours of operation. Lou Bertha asked about the status of an internal audit, raised questions about township finance and bookkeeping, and asked about funds for Toys for Alle Kiski Kids. Jerry Frederick also raised zoning and stream pollution concerns and questioned Toys for Alle Kiski Kids funds in his comments. Terry George questioned departmental response times to correspondence. Charles Schachte commented on changes in how supervisor meetings are conducted.
Supervisors responded in the meeting record: Supervisor Mike Korns addressed township code citation issues and Toys for Alle Kiski Kids money; Supervisor Jeff Pollick welcomed Township Manager Dan Miller, acknowledged new hires and promotions and responded to citizen questions; Chairman Jamie Morabito also responded to questions about the Toys for Alle Kiski Kids money. The minutes note responses but do not include full verbatim answers or any detailed follow‑up commitments.
The board adjourned at 8:52 p.m. after public comment concluded. The minutes record the citizen concerns and supervisory responses but do not document specific timelines or documented evidence related to the audit or the toys fund.
