Huntington Township supervisors approve routine minutes, bills, personnel moves and land items
Summary
At its July 11 meeting the board approved June minutes and the bill list, ratified an assistant roadmaster promotion and wage increase, authorized a $240,000 CD placement and joining an investment trust, approved ARP funds for a truck purchase, and approved subdivision actions.
The Huntington Township Board of Supervisors completed a series of routine motions on July 11, approving minutes, bills, personnel appointments, investment steps and subdivision paperwork.
The board approved the June 13 minutes and the monthly bill list by voice vote. Pat (Speaker 9) reported account balances and receipts for the general fund, ARP and state funds; the board recorded a total account balance of approximately $1.26 million as of the meeting. The chair read monthly expenditures at about $31,699.54 and a fuel expense from liquid fuels of $141.73.
On investments, after discussing quoted CD rates and basis-point fees for local and external providers (transcript includes multiple spellings of one vendor), the board voted to invest $240,000 in a six-month certificate offered by the vendor identified in the meeting (transcript name variants: Pligget/Plagued/Plagut). The board also adopted a resolution to join the Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (referred to in the meeting as Pligot). Members discussed FDIC-insurance limits and agreed to consider protecting deposits through splitting CDs if needed.
The board ratified moving Chad Asper from part-time to assistant roadmaster and increased his wage from $24.77 to $26 per hour effective in the current pay period; the promotion was noted as retroactive to April. Pat referenced an upcoming PSATS salary survey to inform future wage-setting.
The board authorized using ARP funds toward the previously approved new truck purchase; members noted the ARP balance of roughly $216,543 and said any shortfall would be covered by the equipment fund.
In land-use business, the planning commission recommended approval of the Lobos subdivision; the engineer asked that certain plan sheets be signed and sealed by a licensed surveyor as a condition of the board's approval. The board approved the subdivision contingent on that sealing and approved the requested non-building waiver. A JVI contractor also submitted a building-permit application for a 22,000-square-foot truck garage; the board accepted the permit application but noted that work cannot proceed until a land-development plan is filed.
All motions recorded in the meeting were taken by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded on the transcript.
