Mt. Ephraim Commissioners December Meeting
By Linda Boker-AngeloNEWS Correspondent
The Mount Ephraim Board of Commissioners last week finished up business for the year, approving funding for new Public Works vehicles and increasing the fee charged for a bingo/raffle license.
The governing body passed a bond ordinance appropriating $270,000 for the purchase of a loader/backhoe and a street sweeper. Approximately $256,500 in bonds will be issued to finance the pur-chase.
The commissioners also approved a resolution rais-ing the fees for a bingo/raffle license, in ac-cordance with a recent state increase. The state has dou-bled its licensing fee from $10 a week to $20 a week. The borough is permitted by law to collect up to the same amount for a local fee. The commissioners voted to also charge applicants $20 a week.
Resolutions granting a bingo license to Sacred Heart Church and bingo-/raffle licenses to MEPRI and Sons of Italy Lodge #2362.
The commissioners will meet again at 8 p.m. on Thursday, January 4 in the Borough Hall, 131 South Black Horse Pike.
