MINERSVILLE - The borough council set tax millage at 16.00 for 2014, a 1-mill increase from 2013, following the second reading of the tax levy ordinance Tuesday night.
A motion was also passed that borough taxes must be paid by April 1 or there could be consequences for landlords' rental registration licenses.
"They have until April 1 to pay any back taxes to the borough, or we will start revoking their rental license," Minersville police Chief Michael Combs said.
In other business, the council appointed Megan Paul as the temporary interim treasurer while the position is advertised to solicit interest and extended the duties of the code enforcement officer, making Kyle Crouse the health officer for the borough.
Crouse was appointed as the new code enforcement officer in May, replacing Fred Bainbridge.
The borough council also approved a motion to advertise for a new borough manager.
The borough manager position has been open since July 15 when Joseph K. Bass resigned from his position. His resignation was accepted at the August meeting.
The borough council originally approved a motion to advertise for the open borough manager position in August and applications were accepted until Sept. 30, but a suitable candidate has yet to be found.
