Concord Township supervisors voted unanimously on Nov. 5 to adopt an updated Emergency Operations Plan and to apply for a small open-space grant for bird blinds.

Resolution 37: Emergency Operations Plan. Fred, who led the update, summarized that the plan is organized in three parts: a basic plan, incident checklists, and a notification/resource manual; it follows the Incident Command System and NIMS to enable interagency coordination and sets maintenance and implementation responsibilities. The supervisors moved to approve Resolution 37, which the board adopted by voice vote and made effective immediately; staff noted portions of the plan (checklists and resource manual) contain personal or sensitive contact information and will not be published to the public packet to preserve security.

Resolution 38: Open-space grant application. John presented a motion to apply for the 2025 'Pico Green Region' open space program to fund bird blinds in township parks in the amount of $1,500. The motion passed by voice vote.

Finance and consent agenda. The township finance officer reported total expenditures for October of $1,075,139.29, which included payroll ($290,069.11), current bills ($298,737.09) and sewer bills ($486,333.09). Staff presented several certificates of payment and final releases (including payments to Huff Lofting Timber Framing, Guy Cooper, A.F. Damon, Sky General Construction, and final releases tied to Ridge Road and Orchard Knoll work). Supervisors authorized publication for bids on a three-year sewer maintenance contract and awarded the 2025–27 snow-removal contract to JNC Property Management (the incumbent). The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote.

What’s next: Staff will place portions of the Emergency Operations Plan on the township website per security guidance, proceed with the grant application submission and execute contract award paperwork as required by procurement rules.
