(Beaver Falls, PA)  Residents filled the room and hallways at the Beaver Falls City Council meeting Tuesday night.  Mayor Kenya Johns expressed her appreciation saying she was glad to see so many people in attendance.  Council approved to remove Kevin Kunselman from the Beaver Falls Trust Fund Board, which was created to oversee funds from the sale of the Water Pollution Control Plant.  Mayor Johns stated that the creation of the board, among other things, were illegally done by the previous council after the November election.  Solicitor Shannon Steele corrected and clarified that the actions made during that time were not illegal, although they are not required to remain in place.  Multiple community members voiced support for Kunselman, with one member of the public accusing Johns of having a vendetta.  Kunselman also made a statement that he believes two current members of the council are not legally able to be sworn in.   In addition, the council also approved the decision to research selling the Beaver Falls Wave Pool to a non-profit organization.  If a sale would happen, the city may have to sell the pool to the highest bidder, which could potentially scrap all of the money and work that was done under Tyrone Zeigler.  Zeigler stated that he has had a hard time getting the city to cooperate with him over the last few years, including for a feasibility study that is needed for the project to move forward.  Zeigler hopes that the city can finally begin to help, or that they can find a way for his company, Tiger Land Inc. to acquire ownership of the pool without having to participate in a bidding war.
