Committee certifies long-term maintenance to pursue dedication of Fox Hall, Marwen and Hanson Court

The Finance Administration Committee on Aug. 21 adopted a resolution certifying that the borough has maintained Fox Hall, Marwen and Hanson Court for more than 21 years, a step required by PennDOT for formal roadway dedication. Staff said community works director Jeff Eldon signed a certification showing the borough meets the maintenance-history requirement.

Staff described the resolution as a supplement to an ordinance the council authorized for advertisement at last month’s meeting; the resolution formally certifies the maintenance history so the borough can claim dedication under PennDOT rules. Committee members noted that the borough has already assumed practical responsibility for maintenance and that residents likely expect continued upkeep.

The committee approved the resolution by voice vote; staff said questions about street lights and language in the ordinance itself would be addressed separately during the full council business meeting.
