New Business
- Welter - Darlene Welter, 1670 Falls Road, requested that the Township send another letter to PADOT requesting they look into the pipe that is located next to her house.
She states that the new pipe they replaced in the summer of ’06 is not handling the water sufficiently and requests that the Township submit another letter to ask the State to rectify the matter.
- Rafalko - Leonard Rafalko, Davinci Lane, stated that the road crew is doing the best job with the roads this winter and thanked the Supervisors. He also has a complaint
regarding the Comcast Cable stating that he has friends that live in South Abington Township that receive more channels than he does and both are paying the same amount. Supervisors asked Miller
to request that a representative from Comcast come to the next meeting. Rafalko also had complaints regarding the junk yards on Summit Lake Road. Supervisors will speak with Scot Haan to have him
look into the matters.
- LaCoe - Sandy LaCoe, Newton United Methodist Church, stated that the Methodist churches in the Newton and Ransom areas will be merging to the Newton Church. The church has a

request their input in how the matter can be handled.
