From staff reports
Polk Borough police Sgt. Alan Heller told borough council members Thursday the department has a potential lead in the disappearance of a mobile home in the area of Waterworks and Georgetown roads.
“We don’t know where the trailer is, but we have found pieces of the trailer,” Heller said.
The owner of the 14-by-80-foot mobile home reported in December that it had disappeared from the property he was renting, police chief Ed Sharp said a couple of weeks ago.
The home owner had not been to the home for about a month, and when he returned he found it was gone, Sharp said.
In other business at Thursday’s borough council meeting, the panel voted unanimously to adopt the 2020 Venango County joint seal coat bid program.
The borough’s share of the cost is about $13,110 to seal coat Wood Street, part of Erie Street, Elm Street, Crawford Avenue and Main Street Extension.
Council also announced Thursday the borough is purchasing a 2015 Chevy Impala police cruiser for $4,554.38.
Council president Jim Miller talked about a letter he received from Gov. Tom Wolf, and Miller again noted Wolf’s adamant stance on the state’s desire to close Polk Center and White Haven Center in Luzerne County.
Miller and Mayor Dave Owens wondered what the fate of the center building will be if the closure comes to pass within the next two and one-half years as has been proposed.
