Huntington Township board reviews finances, confirms delivery of new plow chassis and orders 100 tons of road salt

Huntington Township supervisors reviewed the township financial report for Feb. 13 and approved routine bills and contracts during their regular meeting.

The township’s finance officer reported receipts of $42,720.69 and expenditures of $60,549.09 in the general fund, leaving a reported general fund balance of $795,981.64. The ARP fund received $13.99 in interest, had expenditures of $185,871 and showed a balance of $30,795.27. The state fund reported interest of $10.68 and a balance of $125,802.05. Combined balances across accounts totaled $952,578.96, the report said.

Supervisors approved the distributed minutes from the organizational meeting and the January regular meeting and voted to approve the bill list (motion passed by voice vote).

Roadmaster updates included winter maintenance activity and confirmation that a new plow truck chassis had been delivered to the body company in Huntington for the bed installation. Board members clarified that the $185,000 figure discussed referred to the chassis cost and not the completed truck with bed.

The board discussed the PennDOT 2526 salt contract and, after brief discussion, moved and approved a motion to order 100 tons for the coming season. The motion passed by voice vote.

Supervisors noted they received audit reports for two volunteer fire companies to which the township contributes; the audits passed with minor recommendations. The board also authorized roadmaster staff to attend training seminars at the upcoming PSATS conference in May.

No dissenting votes were recorded in the minutes for these routine items; actions were approved by voice votes recorded as “aye.”
