Former DuBois resident appearing on HGTV show By Cathy Moore [email protected] REYNOLDSVILLE — The authority of Clearfield-Jefferson Counties Regional Airport gath- ered for a quick meeting Friday morning. Bob Shaffer, airport manager, reviewed the charts and said pas- senger count soared in May, up to 318, compared with 187 passen- gers in April. In 2014, passenger count was 364 in May and 302 in April. Airline landings for April were 65 and in May, 79. Shaf- fer said there were no cancella- tions in May and only three de- lays. “It’s safe to say they (Silver Airways) are doing a lot better,” board member Dave Brennan said. “People can come back to fly here.” Sales of JetA retail fuel were also higher than last month. In May, there was an increase of more than 300 gallons, from 3013 to 3342. Compared to May of 2014, the airport sold almost double the amount of fuel. Shaffer said the reason for the increase in sales is the discount system that was initiated sev- eral months ago. “The higher fuel sales are due to the discount sys- tem we’re using and one customer made that difference in our fuel sales,” he said. Silver Airways has caught up their past-due payments to the airport. “It was just disorganiza- tion on their part,” Shaffer said. “They are now caught up and do- ing better.” During his report, Shaffer said work on the slide on the Orion property is complete. A consultant was called in to work on the back gate alarm sys- tem. The gate would not open nor close remotely. The problem was the 480-volt power lines that are on the air- port property. The signal would not travel from the building to the gate due to signal interrup- tions from the power lines. The antenna will be moved to a high- er location. The signage project is com- plete and the final inspection was made. The project came in on budget. Another project also complete is the paint and crack sealing. Shaffer said the work crews only need to finish painting the de- icing pad. A final inspection for that is in July. Signed by the board were two agreements with GAI Consul- tants for $6,545.58 each. The agreements are for consultant fees for grants for the current snow re- moval vehicle and for the purchase of the new ARFF vehicle. When the authority signed an agreement with Silver Airways last year, the airline needed reno- vations done to the hanger. In- cluded in the renovations will be moving the parts room to an ad- joining non-used adjoining room; resurfacing of the floor and in- stallation of new walls and lights. Shaffer said the total cost of the renovations is $1,643,763.62, which will be funded by the Penn- sylvania Bureau of Aviation. If a local share of money is needed, the airline will pay it, ac- cording to Shaffer.

Directors were split 4-4 two weeks ago when it came time to adopt the proposed $16.7 million budget at their regular meeting on June 15. Directors were staunchly divided over a proposed 2.36 mill tax hike that includes a $734,000 shortfall in revenue. Board President Darlene Wri- glesworth along with fellow direc- tors Robert Deluccia Sr., Donald “Bear” Stewart and David Donahue voted against the motion, with Su- san Wingard, Jim Thorp, Jeff Shaf- fer and Keith Witherite voting in favor. Director Mary Ann Rafferty, who is chairwoman of the inance committee, was not present at the meeting. Six votes are required to pass the budget. Superintendent Ronald Ma- tchock told the board at its meeting that past budgets have similarly showed large deicits in past years, but when the district’s audit was completed in those same years, the deicit typically was erased. But he admitted that it may not always happen that way. This year’s budget was drafted using last year’s state revenues in an effort to be conservative just in case the district does not receive what Gov. Tom Wolf proposed sev- eral months ago. The board did vote unanimous- ly at their most recent meeting to adopt a resolution authorizing the refund of some of the school’s 2010 revenue bonds to a rate of 2.72 per- cent through PNC Capital Markets. That will shave off about $190,000 from the budget in the fall, accord- ing to Business Manager Paul Carr. But Matchock said nothing has been changed in the proposed bud- get that directors will again be ex- amining on Monday night. “We didn’t make any changes to the original documents,” Matchock said. “We are still working off of the original options.” Alternative options in front of the board were to adopt a 1.18 mill increase as well as a budget that re- lected none at all. The district’s $190,000 savings in 2015-16 from refunding some of the district’s revenue bonds were not added into the budget for Mon- day night, Matchock said. “Once all of the bond reinancing is oficially in our hands, it will be relected,” Matchock said. “But at this late stage, we just made sure the board is aware that it will likely be factored in and will fall within the 2015-16 school year.” The board is scheduled to debate the proposed budget once again at its special meeting at 7 p.m. Six votes are required to pass the bud- get that is due Tuesday.

CURWENSVILLE – There are only a few days before school dis-tricts in the state are required to pass their 2015-16 budget, and Cur-wensville Area School Board direc-tors are taking it down to the wire.
Directors were split 4-4 two weeks ago when it came time to adopt the proposed $16.7 million budget at their regular meeting on June 15.
Directors were staunchly divided over a proposed 2.36 mill tax hike that includes a $734,000 shortfall in revenue.
Board President Darlene Wri-glesworth along with fellow direc-tors Robert Deluccia Sr., Donald “Bear” Stewart and David Donahue voted against the motion, with Su-san Wingard, Jim Thorp, Jeff Shaf-fer and Keith Witherite voting in favor. Director Mary Ann Rafferty, who is chairwoman of the inance committee, was not present at the
meeting.Six votes are required to pass the
budget.Superintendent Ronald Ma-
tchock told the board at its meeting that past budgets have similarly showed large deicits in past years, but when the district’s audit was completed in those same years, the deicit typically was erased. But he admitted that it may not always happen that way.
This year’s budget was drafted using last year’s state revenues in an effort to be conservative just in case the district does not receive what Gov. Tom Wolf proposed sev-eral months ago.
The board did vote unanimous-ly at their most recent meeting to adopt a resolution authorizing the refund of some of the school’s 2010 revenue bonds to a rate of 2.72 per-cent through PNC Capital Markets. That will shave off about $190,000 from the budget in the fall, accord-ing to Business Manager Paul Carr.
