Council President Eidle
Council Vice President Seyler
Councilman Schlegel
Councilman Snyder
Councilman Gangewere
Councilwomen Bray
Dear Council Members,
I addressed all of you individually and by name because I want each and every one of you personally to know that you are all accountable for not answering the demands that I stated in my letters to Borough Manager\Treasurer Khalife and Council President Eidle. You are all violating the Borough Code.
I demanded President Eidle address Mr. Remaley’s untrue and derogatory statements about me and to make the Borough’s finances available to the public as per the Borough Code.
I demanded Treasurer Khalife make all the Borough’s finances available to the public as per the Borough Code. About one month before my letter to him Mr. Khalife told me he was not aware of the situation concerning the Borough finances. I agreed being he was new as Borough Manager and Treasurer. But after more than one month there are still no financial records available to the public.
How can the 6 of you agree to order Mr. Khalife not to publish the Borough’s financial records and violate the Borough Code? You have also ordered Assistant Treasurer Samilo to violate the Borough Code. He personally refused to show me any financial records on several occasions.
You are also aware of the disgraceful behavior of David Remaley who is a member of the Zoning Hearing Board and again you all agree to ignore my accusations but you can never say you did not know of his false statements.
I know that every one of you received copies of my letters because I hand delivered them to the Borough Hall and you can never say you were not aware of the Borough Code violations.
I am in possession of the contract between Hometown Utilicom and Apex at Kutztown and offhand I think the Borough over stepped its limits with this contract. Did the Borough Solicitor review this contract before it was signed?
I am going to pursue the Remaley incident unless I hear from you. And I will continue to pursue my requests for financial records to be made available to the public. Remember you can never say you did not know the facts of this serious situation.
What happened to former Councilman Dr. Strasser’s statements about Hometown Utilicom that were published in the local newspaper? Did you disown them?
Please inform me as to when the financial records will be available at the Borough Hall and how you will handle the Remaley case. Thank you.

Sincerely,


Gennaro A. Marino P.E.
