The Greenwood Township Supervisors hired a new township treasurer at its regular meeting held April 15.

The board voted unanimously to offer the position to interim treasurer Tammy Mortaloni at a rate of $45 per hour up to 20 hours per month, according to the meeting minutes.

Township officials stated all four applicants for the position were well qualified and interviewed and thanked the other applicants for their interest, the minutes state.

“It was noted interim treasurer Tammy Mortaloni had been working more hours getting the financial books cleaned up and corrected and is not yet completed with this task,” the minutes state.

She told the board that the books between the clerk and treasurer have “not been balanced since Jan. 1, 2022.”

Mortaloni told the board that the state auditor has granted the township and extension until May 15 to submit required financial reports.

The board unanimously approved additional hours for Mortaloni to meet the state deadline for submission of the reports.

In other business the board: Heard a complaint about employee files “for limited information (none since 2019) in Jet Galonski’s personnel file.”

The meeting minutes state the file contains “no termination letter or job performance information.”

Galonski asked the board to “acknowledge the illegal firing of Fire Department personnel by the previous Board. He stated some of them would like to return, but they want the board to approve their Annual Service Credit for time they missed restored,” the minutes read.

The board also heard about an incident involving a police call made March 17 regarding Deputy Treasurer Joann Bassing and Clerk Debby Spicer.

Spicer read a statement she had prepared “citing other incidents of assault and harassment of other Township personnel, both past and present, and required the board to stop tolerating it and enforce the township policies.”

Concerning the call, John Bassing said “the report was wrong and played a portion of the tape,” according to the meeting minutes.
