I sent this short video to all the Supervisors and staff responsible for these minutes. Hoping they would correct them before officially accepting them.
These minutes are presented as draft minutes on the township website for approval at the 7.12.21 meeting for the prior meeting of June 28th. Not one supervisor reviewed these minutes until I presented this video pointing out the many errors. We have been told that the minutes are the official record of what transpires a these meeting....yet they are presented in this condition? In 2020 the secretary who takes these minutes was paid over $62,000!!! Should we expect better spelling? Better accuracy? You will hear Chairmen Greg Galtere enumerate the errors for correction...but check the final version because I think he missed the last page and the errors I identify there. So, in the meeting they recognize my short video pointing out the errors. If I had not done this, they would have simply approved the minutes as written...errors and all..... the Supervisors do not review the minutes before accepting them. YOU BE THE JUDGE-IT's YOUR TAX DOLLARS This is an example of how bad our government is today.
We have lowered the bar as low as it will go concerning Supervisors, consultants and certain employees. Yet, it can still get worse. Here, in this clip from the April 26th BoS meeting: They ignored all of the requirements to letting a contract for building the steps: 1. NO RFP 2. Only 2 estimates, when 3 are required for the dollar amount 3. Was not advertised as required 4. New construction not ADA compliant 5. No review by Planning Commission BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING AGENDA Monday, April 26, 2021 6:00PM **Immediately following Vacancy Board Meeting** Item #2 from the Agenda: NEW BUSINESS 2. Consider Approving Installation of Steps Connecting the Dunn Community Center to the Exeter Community Library in the amount of $19,000 ▪ The Administration is proposing installation of a staircase to allow for pedestrians to travel between the Dunn Community Center and the Exeter Township Library. Installation of this stairway will also allow for greater access to the newly installed StoryWalk. This opinion concerning the May 24, 2021 BoS meeting addresses one Agenda item concerning opening up meetings to the public. It also addresses comments (complaints) made during the Supervisors Reports near the end of the meeting. The misinformation, the lies, the complaining by our "leader" and his attacks on private citizens. What I call the "CONFESSIONAL" by the three ERCCP members: Galtere, Speece and Staub.

PROACTIVE @ 1:06:36 SUPERVISOR REPORTS. @ 1:08:54 This short video (12 minutes) discusses the misleading and completely false assertion that the $1.7 million dollars subsidizing the General Fund is from the collection of Aged accounts receivables from past owed sewer bills. I will show you how they have mislead all of us and the last slide I will show you the "FUZZY" accounting/reporting which makes no sense at all.This last slide is planned to be discussed at the BoS May 10 meeting. It is an eye opening to anyone who watches with an open mind.
Interviews to fill the seat vacated by John Cusatis (yes he his gone)and the Board of Supervisors meeting held right after.
See my interview first, then Todd Arnold and finally Jack Piho Be prepared for a rather disjointed meeting, for example Supervisor Kircher missed my presentation due to computer issues( this should have delayed the presentation, certainly unfair to me) then the vacancy board chairman had connection problems and missed some parts of Todd Arnolds presentation. There were some problems with Jan Piho's presentation but nothing serious. During the regular board meeting the finance director was missing for a portion of the meeting as well! Overall a grade of C minus!!! Township scams taxpayers on Audit4/25/2021 This video explains in detail the scam the Supervisors, the manager, the finance director and possibly Maillie are carrying on with our township finances. Very disgusting, the most important things the township must do is protect and report our financial matters, clearly, concisely and accurately.
The story from the township is that the DCED report is our audit report that meets Section 904 audit requirements....this presentation disputes this. TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENT FAILS OUR TAXPAYERS AGAIN Published on April 14th in the Reading Eagle, Mr. Bartlett claims that all requirements have been met for section 904 for 2nd class township reporting and filing of financial information. This is blatantly false. Thats right, they missed the deadline a second year in a row. The annual audit must be completed no longer than 90 days after the close of the previous fiscal year. This did not happen and here Are the consequences. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO, GO TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL USING RHE CONNECTION PROVIDED IN THE VIDEO AND SIGN UP. PLEASE VOTE FOR ME ON MAY 18TH AT THE POLLS. YOU WILL NEED TO WRITE ME IN BECAUSE I AM NOT ON THE BALLOT.
