The Silver Lake Township Supervisors held their regular monthly meeting on Monday, October 3, 2005 at the Silver Lake Township Building. Terrence Dugan called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm and everyone saluted the Flag.

Tom Swan made a motion to accept the minutes as read, Terry Dugan seconded, approved. The Treasurer’s report was read, approved and held for audit on motion made by Tom Swan and seconded by Terry Dugan.

Public Comment: A resident asked if the Junk Yard Ordinance as well as the Recycling Ordinance could be rescinded. He stated that it should be up to each individual as to whether they recycle or not since each resident now pays for their own garbage. It was brought up that Susquehanna Disposal’s 3-year contract will expire at the end of the year. The current contract with Susquehanna Disposal was just to get the residents started in accepting the responsibility of subscribing to a garbage hauler. It any resident would like to go with another hauler they have that option. Calls have been made to other haulers and they are not interested in coming into the Township.

There was comment that the roads that were stone/oiled turned out very nice.
