At its August meeting, the board approved the consent agenda, three easement resolutions for North Wales Road improvements, a one-year leaf/yard waste contract, purchases for public works and fire equipment, and authorized advertisement of traffic- and red‑light‑camera ordinance amendments.
Montgomery Township’s Board of Supervisors on Aug. 18 approved a slate of routine and contractual items, including contract awards, equipment purchases and four ordinance‑related advertisements.
Key outcomes at a glance: - Consent agenda: Approved (minutes, bills, escrow releases and maintenance items). - North Wales Road easements: Adopted three resolutions (2025-14, 2025-15, 2025-16) authorizing condemnation/ easements for parcels identified to support road improvements and a traffic signal at Airport Square Road. - Red light camera fee: Board authorized advertisement of an ordinance amendment to establish a one‑time $35 collection fee for unpaid red‑light camera violations and to pursue a third‑party collections vendor. - Rose Twig Park restroom: Approved payment of an invoice from the Montgomery Township Municipal Sewer Authority for $164,110 toward the restroom construction project. - Battalion 2 air compressor: Approved purchase and installation of a replacement station air compressor after staff advised the existing unit is beyond repair (vendor quote included in packet). - Speed alert signs: Approved purchase of two portable speed‑alert signs from AllTraffic Solutions Inc. for a quoted cost of $13,018 under CoStars; $15,000 was budgeted in the capital program. - Leaf and yard waste contract: Awarded a one‑year contract to Solid Waste Services d/b/a JP Mascaro and Sons for residential leaf and yard waste collection and disposal at $46,250 (11/1/2025–10/31/2026).
