    Minutes

    The City of Hazleton Government Study Commission held a meeting on October 7, 2025, with six of seven members present to evaluate the city's current form of government over a planned 9-month study period. The Commission will decide whether to recommend retaining the current government structure or draft a Home Rule Charter, with the latter extending the process by an additional 9 months and requiring voter approval via referendum. Regular GSC meetings are scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 4:30 PM at City Hall Conference Room A, with agendas and minutes to be posted on the city website. The Commission is conducting interviews with current and former mayors, city council members, and department heads, and subcommittees held virtual discussions with representatives from Lancaster and Williamsport, both Pennsylvania municipalities with full-time mayors that adopted Home Rule Charters; Lancaster used Home Rule to increase its Earned Income Tax to fund public safety and public works.

    Pocono Township, PA
    Minutes

    Pocono Township, Pennsylvania held a meeting on March 3, 2026 with township officials and representatives from Core 5 Blasting, construction contractors, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and blast monitoring consultants to discuss blasting operations at the Muschlitz site. Key points addressed included confirmation that all blasts remain well below DEP allowable thresholds and permit limits, with seismograph data provided as verification; the township is installing four seismograph monitoring points despite permit requirements for only one; and air horn alerts are intended for on-site worker safety rather than public notification, though vibration limits are set to prevent structural damage to nearby properties. The meeting emphasized that ground vibration regulatory limits have been established to ensure that any off-site vibrations will not cause cosmetic damage to interior finishes, which are the most sensitive indicators of blast impact.
