Conewago supervisors adopt stop‑sign ordinance, approve bond change and several motions
Summary
At its Dec. 1 meeting, the Conewago Township Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 2025-004 adding stop signs at Hertzler and Hoffer Roads and approved a $4,160 bond conversion, an extension of a temporary certificate of use, an EMS agreement date correction, and a $215,813.41 check detail.
Conewago Township’s Board of Supervisors on Dec. 1 adopted an ordinance adding stop signs at Hertzler and Hoffer Roads and approved a slate of routine fiscal and administrative measures.
The actions, taken at the township building in Elizabethtown, included adoption of Ordinance 2025-004, conversion of a performance bond to a two‑year maintenance bond, an extension of a temporary certificate of use, approval of an EMS agreement date correction, preliminary approval for a Make‑A‑Wish convoy, and approval of the December check detail totaling $215,813.41.
Why it matters: the stop‑sign ordinance affects local traffic control at two intersections; the bond conversion and certificate extension affect development oversight and the township’s financial sureties.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. with Chair Mimi Legro presiding. Solicitor/attorney Storz presented evidence that the stop‑sign ordinance amendment had been advertised, and no members of the public raised questions during the public hearing. Legro moved to adopt Ordinance 2025‑004; Vice‑Chair Mike Long seconded. The board recorded “All in favor; motion carried.”
Engineer Goolman recommended reducing a performance bond and converting it to a two‑year maintenance bond. Legro moved to reduce the performance bond to $4,160.00 and convert it to a two‑year maintenance bond; Supervisor Frank Graybill seconded. The board recorded “All in favor; motion carried.”
Legro moved to extend a temporary certificate of use for Lutzkanin to Feb. 1, 2026; Graybill seconded and Long recorded an abstention. The motion carried.
Secretary Jessica Hunt explained that an Excel formula omission produced an error in the spreadsheet previously posted with the 2026 budget; Hunt said the physical budget that was posted and approved included all line items. Solicitor Creme advised that re‑advertising or reposting the budget was not necessary, and the board acknowledged the spreadsheet error.
Legro moved to approve an amendment to the Conewago EMS agreement limited to a date correction; Long seconded and the motion carried. Graybill moved and Legro seconded preliminary approval for a Make‑A‑Wish convoy; the board approved the preliminary request. In the Treasurer’s Report, Graybill moved to approve the check detail in the amount of $215,813.41, subject to audit; Long seconded and the board recorded “All in favor; motion carried.”
The board also approved the Nov. 3 meeting minutes with an amendment to correct an illegible attendance name. Chair Legro adjourned the public meeting to executive session at 7:59 p.m. to discuss personnel matters. The minutes were signed by Secretary Jessica Hunt.
