Board approves consent items, a subdivision, an ordinance and several contracts; five‑zero votes
Summary
At its July meeting Middletown's Board approved the consent agenda (including a $3.2M bills list), granted subdivision approval for the Worthington property, enacted Ordinance 24‑02 restricting parking near a Mill Creek tributary, and awarded fuel and security contracts; all recorded votes were 5–0.
The Middletown Township Board of Supervisors approved several agenda items and awards in a series of motions that passed by unanimous recorded votes.
What passed: the Board approved the consent agenda (bills list dated 07/08/2024 for $3,206,968.31 and several project payment certificates and a grant MOU), granted preliminary and final approval for the West Gillum Avenue Worthington subdivision (SLD #2401) subject to listed conditions (compliance with ordinances, addressing review comments, and fee in lieu of curbs/sidewalks), enacted Ordinance 24‑02 to prohibit parking at an access point on Highland Park Drive, and awarded Bucks County consortium fuel contracts (Pilot Thomas Logistics for unleaded and low‑sulfur diesel; Colonial Oil Industries Inc. for heating fuel). The Board also approved a one‑time purchase for access control and cameras at the Barn at Community Park from EAW Security ($26,846.72) and appointed seven members to the Stormwater Advisory Committee.
Votes and outcomes: each formal action recorded at this meeting carried by voice vote with the Chair announcing "carries five‑zero." The meeting transcript records the motions, seconds and the Chair's announcements but does not name every individual affirmative voice in each vote roll call.
Procedural notes: the consent agenda included a Department of Public Works yard improvements change order (negative $50,000) and several final payment certificates. The subdivision approval included two waivers (sidewalks and street lighting) and a fee‑in‑lieu procedure to be determined by the township engineer and executed in the land development agreement.
Next steps: staff will execute the administrative items (contract paperwork, payments and land‑development agreements) and the Board will continue to consider other items (notably the trash contract) at future meetings.
