Before you cut a check to pay taxes to Bradford Township, the municipality’s supervisors want you to double check the name of the payee.
During a brief meeting held Monday, the supervisors announced that people making tax payments should now put the checks in the name of “Bradford Township Tax Collector” rather than tax collector Beth Monti.
The change is part of Act 38, said township secretary/treasurer Susan Gibiser. Supervisor Steve Mascho indicate that the elderly will have the hardest time with the change.
Monti has office hours from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday or by appointment at 415 Minard Run Road. She is available at (814) 362-6724, and payments can be mailed to: Beth Monti, P.O. Box 334, Bradford, PA 16701.
In other business, supervisors:
• Accepted the resignation of Sean Hvizdzak as a zoning hearing board member. He moved out of the municipality.
