Clifton Heights council approves PennDOT signal agreement, liquid-fuel application, sewer-cleaning contract and copier lease

The Borough Council of Clifton Heights approved a series of routine administrative and public-works actions at its meeting, including a traffic-signal maintenance agreement with PennDOT for Springfield Road intersections, a resolution to apply for Delaware County liquid-fuel funds for municipal road improvements, a four-year sanitary sewer cleaning and televising contract, and a 60-month copier lease with Xerox.

The council voted unanimously on each item during roll-call votes recorded in the meeting minutes. The actions were presented by borough staff, the borough engineer and the manager, who provided brief background for each item.

Why it matters: the approvals secure maintenance agreements and funding applications that enable short-term construction, regular sewer maintenance and routine municipal operations.
