Jim Miller, outgoing West Rockhill supervisor, built beneficial partnerships and was the catalyst for impressive accomplishments to benefit residents. Jim’s initiative, vision, and teamwork deserves to be noted with the following highlights.
Holiday House Pool: Jim revitalized the pool with volunteers and donations to repair and paint the pool, renovate the bathhouse, repave the parking lot, and install LED lighting. The snack bar has new management. The pool now has sunshades, a sound system, a zip line, bocci ball and other games helping summer 2021 be the best season in years.
Government and Fiscal Transparency: Jim led the way in making our local government more transparent with handicap access, security cameras, and updated audio and video technology. Recorded meetings, bill payments, and account balances are on the township website for resident review.
Reducing expenses and increasing service: Jim has been an excellent steward of our township financial resources. Two large loans were renegotiated saving $300,000. Jim and David Collingwood honored the residents’ campaign to eliminate expensive supervisor health insurance saving $100,000 annually. And $500,000 was available for road paving in 2021, the most ever. The general fund increased from $85,000 to $1.5 million leaving the township in excellent financial condition.
