That’s a pretty good perk. I was recently made aware (along with most of the DuBois populace) about the insurance(s).

Petee Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 BEFORE any new councilmen are placed on the board, the city voters should be allowed to set up what the councilmen get, and WHAT THEY DON'T. Giving them all of these extensive rewards opens them to pressure on votes and makes them bend to pressure in order to keep their job. Council isn't about a job, it's about service to the community! mollycan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From WHYY.com: "Pennsylvania’s rules for ousting municipal officials are among the most stringent in the country. "The commonwealth doesn’t permit recall elections, nor does it allow local governing bodies to vote out elected officials if, for example, they violate their duties of office."

C.S. §§ 701-716, requires agencies to deliberate and take official action on agency business in an open and public meeting. It requires that meetings have prior notice, and that the public can attend, participate, and comment before an agency takes that official action. What are the exceptions to the PA Sunshine law? Section 707 identifies the three (3) exceptions to the requirement of open meetings, which are: executive session, conference and certain working sessions. Executive sessions tend to be the most common exception to open meetings. § 708. Executive sessions. (a) Purpose.--An agency may hold an executive session for one or more of the following reasons: (1) To discuss any matter involving the employment, appointment, termination of employment, terms and conditions of employment, evaluation of performance, promotion or disciplining of any specific prospective public officer or employee or current public officer or employee employed or appointed by the agency, or former public officer or employee, provided, however, that the individual employees or appointees whose rights could be adversely affected may request, in writing, that the matter or matters be discussed at an open meeting. The agency's decision to discuss such matters in executive session shall not serve to adversely affect the due process rights granted by law, including those granted by Title 2 (relating to administrative law and procedure). The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any meeting involving the appointment or selection of any person to fill a vacancy in any elected office. (2) To hold information, strategy and negotiation sessions related to the negotiation or arbitration of a collective bargaining agreement or, in the absence of a collective bargaining unit, related to labor relations and arbitration. (3) To consider the purchase or lease of real property up to the time an option to purchase or lease the real property is obtained or up to the time an agreement to purchase or lease such property is obtained if the agreement is obtained directly without an option. (4) To consult with its attorney or other professional advisor regarding information or strategy in connection with litigation or with issues on which identifiable complaints are expected to be filed. (5) To review and discuss agency business which, if conducted in public, would violate a lawful privilege or lead to the disclosure of information or confidentiality protected by law, including matters related to the initiation and conduct of investigations of possible or certain violations of the law and quasi-judicial deliberations. (6) For duly constituted committees of a board or council of trustees of a State-owned, State-aided or State-related college or university or community college or of the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education to discuss matters of academic admission or standings. (7) To discuss, plan or review matters and records that are deemed necessary for emergency preparedness, protection of public safety and security of all property in a manner that if disclosed would be reasonably likely to jeopardize or threaten public safety or preparedness or public protection. (b) Procedure.--The executive session may be held during an open meeting or at the conclusion of an open meeting or may be announced for a future time. The reason for holding the executive session must be announced at the open meeting occurring immediately prior or subsequent to the executive session. If the executive session is not announced for a future specific time, members of the agency shall be notified 24 hours in advance of the time of the convening of the meeting specifying the date, time, location and purpose of the executive session. (c) Limitation.--Official action on discussions held pursuant to subsection (a) shall be taken at an open meeting. Nothing in this section or section 707 (relating to exceptions to open meetings) shall be construed to require that any meeting be closed to the public, nor shall any executive session be used as a subterfuge to defeat the purposes of section 704 (relating to open meetings). (Oct. 24, 2018, P.L.1144, No.156, eff. 60 days) 2018 Amendment. Act 156 added subsec. (a)(7). Cross References. Section 708 is referred to in sections 704, 707, 709, 712.1 of this title.

BillyC Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just saw on another site that maybe the controller Volpe will be the one to fill the empty seat of Shannon Gabriel. Is he a puppet hand picked by the gypsy? Why doesn't the current council listen to the taxpayers and voters of the city and appoint either one of the candidates that got the majority of votes? It just keeps getting more suspicious every time the current council tries to start covering their misdeeds and wrong doings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buschpounder Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 This guy would have been a prime candidate for Dubois council. DUBOIS – Former CEO of Christ the King Manor was sentenced yesterday to 9 months to 5 years in state prison on felony charges of Theft by Unlawful Taking. 65-year old Sam Zaffuto pled guilty and paid restitution of over $70,000. Zaffuto was charged in 2022 for stealing nearly $170,000 while employed at Christ the King. It was determined that he fraudulently diverted and misappropriated funds to a charity account and used them for personal reasons. Some of the money was outside the statute of limitations so he is liable for $70,000. Christ the King has filed a civil lawsuit. Basset3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
