Mayor Sandy Green and the Borough Council
Dear Elected Officials,
At the Special Council Meeting of April 7, 2008 an Ordinance was passed seeking to fill the positions of Borough Manager and Treasurer. Yet the Borough website does not list the two positions under Employment Opportunities. This again shows the lack of leadership on your part. Isn’t the Borough participating in the search for a Borough Manager and Treasurer or is it the usual let an outside firm do it. This is your usual policy of make no decisions and you will not be responsible for the decisions.
The Ordinance clearly states “the Borough is in the process of seeking candidates for the positions of Borough Manager and Treasurer of the Borough of Kutztown”. This means you plan to hire two people to replace Mr. Vettraino, again increasing the payroll. The minutes of the March 18, 2008 Council Meeting state the new Borough Manager will receive a salary in the range of $90+ thousand a year. What will the new Treasurer’s salary be? The residents of the Borough deserve a thorough explanation as to what your plans are and how you plan to spend Borough Funds.

Thanks Gerry for bringing up all of these valid points---people just blindly trust the borough, and it's refreshing to see that someone is calling them on all of this corruption. Please keep it up!
