Ferguson supervisors unanimously approve snow‑removal memorandum with Patton Township
Summary
Ferguson Township’s board adopted a resolution authorizing an MOU with Patton Township to provide reciprocal snow‑removal assistance on specified boundary roads; the vote was unanimous by roll call and the manager and chair were authorized to sign the agreement.
The Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Oct. 16 to adopt a resolution approving memorandums of understanding with Patton Township to provide reciprocal snow‑removal assistance on adjoining roads. The public hearing produced no public comments; the resolution was moved by Supervisor Lisa Strickland and seconded by Supervisor Patty Stevens. The township manager conducted a roll call and recorded a unanimous 'yes' vote from all present supervisors.
Manager Satrice (manager) said the MOU and maps were reviewed by the township solicitor and by Patton Township manager Amy Farkas, who had joined the meeting virtually and could answer questions prior to their board’s consideration. Supervisor Omari Patterson commented the plan is "great planning" and applauded staff for preparing a contingency arrangement to assure uninterrupted winter roadway services.
What happens next: The resolution authorizes execution of the agreement by the township chair and manager once Patton Township completes its process; the board asked the manager and public works director to coordinate operational details and report when the executed MOU is in place.
Why it matters: The MOU creates a cross‑jurisdictional backup for winter operations, which the board identified as important given potential labor negotiations and service interruptions.
