Save the date for Coatesville Impact Day on April 10

"Coatesville Impact Day – The day to make your difference" will take place 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, April 10. Residents who would like to participate should meet at City Hall. Lunch will be supplied afterwards at Ash Park.

Resident Matt Baker said that based on how many people attend, "we would like to do the following:
• Clean-up some specific areas throughout the city;
• Mulch bump out down Lincoln Highway;
• Mulch playgrounds at various locations; and
• Paint at some locations."

"This will not be a one time event," said Baker. "We would like to start a group that works with the city to address these issues."

For more information, contact Baker at matthewbaker19320@gmail.com

Authorities charge Coatesville bookkeeper with accepting bribe

Authorities charged a Coatesville bookkeeper with one count of bribery after she reportedly fixed a city resident’s outstanding trash bills.

Authorities charged Maria Kauffman, 43, of Atglen, on Friday. Between October and November 2008 Kauffman reportedly agreed to accept $1,500 from a city resident to zero out the $8,500 the resident owed for outstanding trash bills, according to authorities.

As a resident of the city, how does it make you feel to know that a bookkeeper was allegedly involved in a bribe?
