Summary
Mount Penn approved a slightly-over-$4,000 quote to replace a malfunctioning traffic light video detector using liquid fuels funds and discussed pursuing grants for signal upgrades including emergency vehicle preemption and battery backups.
The Borough Manager presented a quote slightly over $4,000 to replace a malfunctioning video detector at a traffic light; the expense will be paid from liquid fuels funds. Rick Lombardo moved to approve the repair, Thomas Baer seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
