Towamencin supervisors approve budget transfer for road paving, event support and several resident requests
Summary
At its April 9 meeting, the Towamencin Township Board approved a budget amendment to fully fund the 2025 road paving program, authorized fire police assistance for a neighboring township’s event, approved a sewer refund for a fire‑damaged home, and allowed temporary parking for Woods Edge Apartments.
Towamencin Township’s Board of Supervisors approved several routine but operationally important items at the April 9 meeting, including a budget amendment to fund the township’s 2025 road paving program and multiple resident and intergovernmental service requests.
The board adopted Resolution 25‑22, a budget amendment transferring funds from the general fund and the general fund capital reserve to the General Capital Fund to fully fund the 2025 road paving program. Supervisor Snyder moved to adopt the amendment and Supervisor Warner seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote recorded in the transcript as 4‑0.
The board also approved a request from Lower South Township for assistance from the township’s fire police unit to support traffic and safety control at Lower South’s country fair. The fireworks were noted for the evening of May 3 and the parade for the morning of May 4. Supervisor Snyder moved to approve the assistance and Supervisor Warner seconded; the motion passed 4‑0.
On a resident request related to a house fire on Aug. 25, 2024, the board discussed past practice and the option of disconnecting service. Supervisor Snyder moved, and Supervisor Warner seconded, a motion to refund the requested prepaid sewer charges because the home is currently uninhabitable; the board approved the refund 4‑0.
The board granted temporary use of the township pool parking lot to Woods Edge Apartments for approximately three to five days while that property’s lot is sealed and restriped. Staff recommended approval contingent on an indemnity agreement and adding the township as an additional insured; Supervisor Warner moved and Supervisor Snyder seconded and the motion passed 4‑0.
What wasn’t in the record: The budget amendment did not include dollar amounts in the minutes read into the record, and no vote roll call with individual member votes was recorded in the transcript for these items.
What’s next: Implementation items (scheduling, indemnity agreements, and billing adjustments) were delegated to staff; follow‑up details and formal documentation are expected to be posted with township records.
