The Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office said it will not investigate an alleged violation of the state’s Sunshine Act by Columbia Borough Council.
Borough resident Sharon Lintner filed the complaint after she said council voted on a funding matter in executive session during a November meeting.
“That vote should have been taken in public at the Nov. 7 meeting,” Lintner told LNP on Tuesday. “I felt that was not right because we weren’t privy to where that money came from.
Several Columbia residents with concerns about a 21 percent tax hike, a controversial loan program and issues surrounding governmental transparency are hoping to gain four borough council seats up for grabs this year.
From LNP’s January 14, 2019 Government Calendar:
The Historical Architectural Review Board of the Borough of Columbia will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16, in council chambers of Borough Hall, 308 Locust St., Columbia. Agenda items include:
401 Locust St., CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health, owner; LeFevre Funk Architects Inc., applicant. Construction of a three-story, seven-bay addition to the east elevation of an existing three-story corner building, to include ground-level parking.
Open House at the Columbia Creative Factory
