      Mr. Richards asked the Board if there was any other new business to be brought before the Board.  Mr. Smith stated he attended the Cambria County Sewage Agency meeting and the yearly allotment will be based upon the amount of work conducted in the township.  For 2013 the rate will be around $1,100.00.  This is because the state of PA has dropped the reimbursements to Sewage Authorities.  Discussion occurred on this subject.  Mr. Smith also stated he attended the Building Codes meeting and they are taking over the City of Johnstown’s permitting and are now discussing Somerset County.  They are growing.  Mr. Hoffman stated they should look into combining the SEO and the Codes together.
