The Lititz Halloween parade will be held Monday, October 31. districts and local governments in the group of employers that must now pay into the unemployment compensation fund, go into effect Jan 1. Warwick School Board and Lititz Boro Council are currently trying to decide which is the least expensive of the two optional routes they can follow: 1. Register as a contributory employer, and pay an annual two per cent tax on the first $6,000 of wages paid to every employee. 2. Or register as a reimbursable employer, which means that the school district and the borough will not have to pay an annual tax, but would have to cover u n em p lo ym en t com pensation on a dollar-to-dollar basis for any employee laid off through no cause of his or her own. School District Warwick School District has made a broad estimate that it would cost the district a minimum $24,000 a year as a contributory employer. An advantage for employers who choose to be “contributory” is that they may appeal any claims made against their “ accounts.” H ow ev e r, a- m a jo r disadvantage is that these employers will have paid the tax even though there may be no claims against them. Last spring Warwick School Board opted to become “ reimbursable” employers and budgeted $10,000 to meet any claims that might be filed against the school district by employees laid off. However, the Board is now taking a second look at this decision and has hired the management consulting firm of Reed Roberts to study the district’s history of lay-offs and recommend the cheapest path to follow. The study itself will cost the district $1.75 for each fulltime employee, or $385. The board is definitely leaning toward the contributory system now, but a final decision will come after the Reed Roberts study is made. Lititz Boro L ititz Boro is s till wrestling with the problem, and still trying to get some answers to vague sections of the new amendments, such as whether or not crossing guards, swimming pool staff, and the Lititz Rec Center director’s salaries must be included in the tax. If it goes contributory, the borough will have to pay a minimum of $2,880 a year to cover its seven policemen, 10 members of the public works crew, and seven office workers. Warwick Township Warwick Township has already decided to go “contributory,” which will cost the township about $1500 a year. Township superviosrs had considered the reimbursable option, but rejected this on the basis that an employee’s first week’s claim would amount to more than the township contributed for that employee in an entire year. Boro Manager David Anderson said that the reimbursable option looks “more palatable” to the borough, too. noting that the borough’s record of lay-offs is “ good” and Lititz probably wouldn’t ever get hit by a claim. “It’s the job hoppers that really hurt you,” Anderson said. The first four quarters of the last six quarters of employment are used by the state for determing an employee’s benefits. Assuming an employee worked for the borough for a year or more, then left for another job, and was laid off that second job after a short time, the borough would still have to pay a percentage of that employee’s compensation, according to the (Continued on Page 19) Lititz Police Now Monitoring CB Channel 9 With Now Equipment From Special Fire Police Lititz police are now monitoring Channel 9 on CB radios, in order to cover em e rg en cie s for the motoring public, thanks to a special gift to the department from the Lititz Special Fire Police. The group of volunteer fire police has purchased and installed a new CB base station in the Lititz police station, with an antenna mounted on the roof of Boro Hall, and three mobile CB units with antennae, now mounted in the three police cruisers. Police Chief George Hicks said that the new equipment allows the borough police to communicate with the special fire police when they are on a job, and also gives borough police the capability to monitor Channel 9 for emergency calls from motorists. m THIS ISSUE Chief Hicks said the base so that emergency calls can station at the police be monitored at all times, department will be kept on The special fire police, Channel 9, as will the mobile headed by Capt.
