DUKE CENTER — The handful of Otto Township residents who attended the monthly supervisors’ meeting were informed by Chairman Eric Barton that the Otto-Eldred Police Force will be hiring a part-time officer immediately and a full-time officer in the near future.
Details will be finalized at next week’s police meeting.
Blight committee spokesperson Marilyn Kahle announced that the committee will meet at 10 a.m., Nov. 22 at the township office with three McKean County employees to discuss the problems of compliance and enforcement of the blight code. The public is invited to attend.
A quote to repair and replace fencing on the three ballfields and the football field in the park was received from Hoffman Landscaping for the amount of $44,000 and accepted by the supervisors. This led to a question as to whether the park committee was still functioning. Barton stated that it was no longer active and a new one should be formed. Anyone interested in serving should notify township secretary Jeannie Drummond or attend next month’s meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. on Dec. 8.
