Pulaski Supervisors Limited on Drilling Permit Decisions
Pulaski Township officials say they have few options in approving gas and oil lease permits. Supervisors have approved several conditional use permits, drawing criticism over environmental impact and other concerns. The board emphasizes decisions comply with zoning law, warning that denying on other grounds could trigger costly litigation. State law requires wells in all zoning districts, limiting local water and waste controls amid ongoing court cases. Residents have accused the supervisors of conflicts due to oil leases held by members. The solicitor notes limits on local regulation while awaiting higher court guidance.

Officials seek transfer of $292,230 check for Millennium Park
Neshannock Township supervisors urged moving a $292,230 check held since March in an escrow account to the township capital expenditure and bond redemption fund. The Pittsburgh law firms represent the township on Millennium Park matters and the Karilla Construction lawsuit. Supervisor Joe Gierlach supported the transfer but warned more funds may be owed by the development corporation. Stevens cited lawyer-to-lawyer issues delaying receipt. The payment originates from the Lawrence County Economic Development Corp. and satisfies a municipal lien. The check was held for the sewer project after Karilla Construction defaulted.
