Meeting Minutes of April 15, 2019
Wilburton Catering Hall
The meeting was called to order by Thomas Hynoski. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
Present for the meeting were Thomas Hynoski, Andrew Klacik, Ronald Zangari, Patrick Parnell,
Robert Lex, Michelle Adams and Attorney Jack Mihalik.
A review of the meeting minutes was discussed, with Klacik making a motion to accept the meeting
minutes. Adams seconded. Motion carried (5-0).
Klacik read the Treasurer’s report. Total disbursements were $19,182.17 with $13,600.89 deposited
leaving a balance of $7,899.22 in the Sewer account; a balance of $60,507.66 was reported for the
Hook-up account with no disbursements or deposits for the month. Lex made a motion to accept the
Treasurer’s report and Adams seconded the motion. Motion carried (5-0).
PAYMENT OF BILLS: Klacik read the bills to be paid. Hynoski made a motion to pay the bills as
read, seconded by Adams. Motion carried (5-0)
CORRESPONDENCE: There was no correspondence to be read.
OLD BUSINESS: Hynoski and Mihalik discussed the Locustdale transfer. Hynoski stated that he
called SCMA for a status update, and left a voicemail, but hasn’t received a reply as of the meeting.
Klacik and Mihalik spoke on the Karl George and Vince Devine bond matter, and the approximately
$1.8 million that remains unaccounted. They both have had discussion with Peter Fascia of Matson,
Driscoll & Damico LLP, the forensic account for Selective Insurance. According to Klacik, Fascia
believes that the funds are accounted for but, as of yet, he cannot track them with any certainty. CTA
accountant, Dan Brewer will work with Fascia on this matter upon conclusion of ‘tax season’.
Additionally, Mihalik is looking into three missing payment requests to the financing agency. He has
called and no one is returning his call. He stated that this will move forward as he plans to file an
open records request. He also stated that the PSP has not been very co-operative. His office has been
trying to setup a meeting, but have not been successful.
Mihalik will also consult with Brewer to see if he can render an opinion, based on transfers and
transactions they authorized, that George and Devine didn’t faithfully execute their duties; therefore,
the insurance company would be responsible for the CTA bond claim.
(Cont’d)
Klacik asked Mihalik, if we are not successful with the bond claim, could we still pursue the matter
of several, unspecified, large transfers from CTA to Conyngham Township. Klacik commented that
many of the transactions simply state “…Re-Imbursement to Township…”. Mihalik said he hasn’t
looked into it, but will make note to review. Township Supervisor John McGee asked if we could
possibly open a claim through third-party crime coverage, and stated he will get the policy
information together for Mihalik.
OPERATOR REPORT: Operator Jason Smith reported that, up until the time of his report, there had
been two call-outs since last meeting; both were for pump failures at Locustdale, and were caused by
‘flushable wipes’. A letter was sent out, on this very matter, to Locustdale by Zangari in January.
The pump stations were cleaned 03/29 by Chip Adams Sewer & Drain Cleaning.
Flow meter calibrations were performed 04/12 at the Locustdale, Aristes, Mid-Valley and Wilburton
pump stations. Calibration at the metering manhole has been postponed until after the flow meter can
be properly seated in the wet well.
During the heavy rains early this morning, there were two high water level call-outs, one for
Locustdale and one for Aristes. Aristes took four hours to clear, Locustdale took over nine. This is
caused by a substantial volume of storm water infiltration (INI), and should not occur in what is
supposed to be a closed system.
NEW BUSINESS: A quote from Ashland Diesel for annual PM service on the pump station
generators was discussed. Hynoski believes the quote is rather high for the work being performed.
Smith stated that he believes the quote in less than what other companies would provide. A decision
was tabled at this time until Hynoski can research further.
A quote from Moyer Instruments for repair/re-positioning of the flow meter at the metering manhole
location was discussed. The flow meter is not seated properly, preventing accurate calibration
required for the Chapter 94 report. Smith stated that Moyer’s quote of $640 does not include fall
protection, confined space entry, air monitoring, blower units, etc. Smith can provide these services,
per our contract with him, for a flat-fee of $160. Smith stated that his fee would be $1,200 for setup
anywhere else. Hynoski made a motion for Smith to contact Moyer to perform the work, and for
Smith to provide the additional services necessary. Adams seconded. Motion carried (5-0)
OPEN DISCUSSION: Resident Leonard Adams asked where the money goes when CTA customers
pay in advance. The money goes directly into the CTA operating expense account and the customer’s
account is credited; sewer service fees are deducted at the current rate until credit balance is depleted.
With no further business to conduct, a motion was made to adjourn by Hynoski and seconded by
Adams. Motion carried. (5-0)
Respectfully submitted,
Ronald J.A. Zangari
