Childrens Home in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, stating there will be an increase inaheir,,per

want the Child Welfare Services to consider the letter a request for an increase in the per

costing them. Allegheny County has informed they are increasing their per diem rate to
$10. 00. Ms. Abel stated in her- letter that since they do not specify the amount they want,

Mr. Anthony reviewed the draft stating that said ordinance will abolish
the Planning Commission created by resolution pursuant to the Act of 1955, August 9, P. L.
323 and create a planning commission vested with the powers, responsibilities and duties
set out in the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act of July 31, 1968 P. L. 247.
Mr. Anthony: Terms of the members will now be four (4) years instead of six (6) ,
no more than three (3) members appointed in a given year. There are three (3) members
to be reappointed this time, two (2) members will be due in 1974, etc. , Reforming the
TCommission is a technicality, which would record that the Planning Commission members
resigned and that they be reappointed (staggered form), this is 'the simplest way to do it
because of the complexities involved with the new Act.
Mr. Capano: This is restablishing the Board by Ordinance instead of resolution?
Mr. Anthony: Yes.
