Summary
The board approved a Junction Center event road closure 3-1 (Supervisor Richard Landis opposed). The motion was moved by Tom Walsh and seconded by Gary Stevens. Other event and fire-police requests were approved unanimously.
The Penn Township Board of Supervisors approved a Junction Center event road-closure request at its Aug. 24 meeting on a 3-1 vote, with Supervisor Richard Landis recorded as opposed.
The motion to approve the Junction Center event road closure was moved by Tom Walsh and seconded by Gary Stevens; the minutes record the motion as approved 3-1, with Landis opposed. The same agenda item included several related event approvals: the East Petersburg Community Day fire police request and the Manheim Farm Show fire police request, both approved 4-0.
The minutes do not provide a roll-call narrative beyond the recorded tallies and do not list the substantive grounds for Landis’s opposition. The board also discussed logistics for community events (a parade participation question is noted in the minutes), but no separate recorded motion addressed parade vehicle participation.
The outcome allows the Junction Center event to proceed under township authorization for the closure; staff will implement the closure as arranged with event organizers.
