At its Jan. 18 meeting the Laurel Mountain Borough Council reviewed fee proposals from two vendors before naming a new tax collector.
The Clerk read the options: PAMS was listed at "$3.00 per filing" or a "$640.00 flat rate," while Keystone was listed at "$1.50 per filing plus $2.25 postage per filing." After that comparison, Council member Mathew Henson proposed accepting Keystone's offer. The council then moved and passed a motion to appoint Keystone; the transcript does not include a roll-call or numerical vote tally.
The council did not record further contract terms (such as start date or contract length) during the meeting. The record also notes that the prior tax collector, Alyssa Boyd, had resigned, creating the vacancy the council filled.
