Springettsbury board approves traffic‑signal contract, energy rate and park grant applications; accepts long‑time recreation chair’s resignation
Summary
Supervisors awarded a Market Street traffic‑signal contract (up to $566,500), approved a four‑year electricity supply rate with NRG Direct Energy, adopted three park grant resolutions totaling requested amounts, and accepted Sherry Nichols’s resignation with a resolution of appreciation.
During its regular meeting, the Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors approved several administrative actions: awarding a traffic‑signal contract, accepting an electricity rate, adopting multiple park grant applications, and formally acknowledging a longtime recreation board chair.
The board authorized awarding a contract to Centimeters High Incorporated for Market Street traffic signal improvements in an amount not to exceed $566,500, noting the Greenlight Go grant covers the majority of the project cost. A motion to award the contract was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
The board also approved an electricity supply agreement with NRG Direct Energy at 6.596¢ per kilowatt‑hour, effective December 2026 through November 2030.
On parks business, supervisors accepted the resignation of Sherry Nichols as chair of the Parks and Recreation Board effective Oct. 15, 2025, and adopted Resolution 2025‑53 honoring her more than three decades of service. The board then adopted Resolutions 2025‑54, 2025‑55 and 2025‑56 authorizing applications for Statewide Share Assessment Category 4 grants for Rockburn Park playground equipment ($82,474), shade units at Harvest Hill and Augusta Schaeffer Park ($22,908), and a skid steer purchase ($129,700).
Board members also discussed enforcement of ordinances against a local business (identified in the meeting as Hooters), reporting magistrate fines up to the township’s $500 per‑violation maximum have been imposed for earlier 2024 events and that new notices have been issued for 2025 events; no new enforcement policy was adopted at the meeting, though board members asked staff to explore additional avenues and whether ordinance changes would be appropriate.
The meeting concluded after routine engineering and consent‑agenda business.
