Council authorizes PennDOT utility reimbursement agreement and accepts $200,000 Cumberland County block grant for Orange Street retrofit
Summary
Council voted by voice to authorize the mayor to sign a PennDOT utility reimbursement agreement (manhole and valve elevation work) and to accept a $200,000 Cumberland County clean-water block grant for the Orange Street Basin retrofit, both motions moved by Councilor Melon and passed after seconds and brief discussion.
During the March 4 workshop, Councilor Melon moved two resolutions authorizing intergovernmental agreements and acceptance of grant funds.
On the first motion, Councilor Melon asked the council to adopt “a resolution authorizing the mayor as signature authority for the utility reimbursement agreement with PennDOT as part of the PennDOT roadway resurfacing project on East High Street, which is State Route 74, and York Road, which is State Route 641,” specifying manhole elevation adjustments, select frame‑cover replacements and water‑valve elevation adjustments subject to review by the borough manager and solicitor. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. No roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
On the second motion, Councilor Melon moved that the borough authorize the mayor to execute a Cumberland Countywide clean‑water program block grant agreement that would award the borough $200,000 to support the Orange Street Basin retrofit project, also subject to manager and solicitor review. That motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Both measures were presented as routine intergovernmental authorizations contingent on final review by borough staff and counsel. The council did not request additional financial detail during the floor votes recorded in the transcript.
