Dear Sir:
I live in and purchase electricity from the Borough of Kutztown and in a Right to Know Request asked to see the Borough Ordinance, Resolution or Legislation that authorizes the Service Fee charged on all Borough Electric bills. The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records ordered the Borough to give me the documents and we eventually went to the Court of Common Pleas and Borough Solicitor Keith Mooney stated there is no Ordinance, Resolution or Legislation that authorized the charge. In the past this Service fee has been called Net Rate Minimum and KW Usage.
My complaint is if there is no legislation or Borough Council vote authorizing this charge it is illegal and should be refunded to all the customers. Attached please find page 2 of a letter from Kutztown Borough Solicitor Mooney to the Court.
I have also attached a letter to the Elected Borough Officials and have received no reply from the Borough and a copy of my recent Electric bill account no. 20084 showing the Service Fee.
My complaint is against:
Borough of Kutztown
45 Railroad Street
Kutztown, Pa 19530
610-683-6131
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gennaro A. Marino P.E.

Stop your complaining. Nobody is forcing you to live here.
When I came here 17 years ago the Borough had a surplus of about $8 million. Now there is no surplus and the Borough debt is $13 million and going to $21.5 million according to the new loan proposals the Borough has received. Why can't I question the Borough's finances. Especially when they are not very forthcoming. Ask the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records.
If the borough had a surplus when you came and now they don't have a surplus, guess you must be the problem.
