Government watchdog, 07.06.09

* In Lower Paxton Twp. news, the Parks and Recreation Board held their monthly meeting last Wednesday. CLICK HERE for meeting highlights provided by community watchdog group SWAN.

* The supervisors will meet tomorrow, Tuesday, July 7, at the Municipal Center, 7:30 pm. The meeting will be broadcast live on Comcast channel 20.

The meeting agenda is fairly light. One item that is of interest to some Lingelestown residents is the proposed acceptance of Blackberry Lane between North Mountain Road and Blue Mountain Parkway as a public road. CLICK HERE for background information (see second item).

* The Central Dauphin School Board will meet next Monday, July 13, in the Lecture Hall of Central Dauphin East High School, 7 pm. The big topic of discussion is supposed to be a proposal to outsource management of the district’s bus fleet.

* Gazette reader and my chief geek advisor Jay Mumper unsuccessfully tried to find an online CD School District calendar that automatically notifies interested parties when it is updated. He turned his frustration into productive action by setting up a Google calendar with the district’s 2009-2010 calendar.

He would welcome letting someone else who follows district news be the editor (or to add school board meetings, etc.). E-mail B² if you would like to volunteer.
