Upper Chichester board moves on grants, contracts, and routine bills in May 27 meeting
Summary
The board approved a cluster of routine financial and contract items including a $300,000 watershed grant application, a $541,999 liquid fuels intent‑to‑award, CDBG payments, vehicle sale authorization and multiple change orders; most votes were by voice with limited discussion.
At its May 27 meeting the Upper Chichester Township Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine financial and contract actions spanning public safety, environmental grants, road work and municipal services.
Key approvals included a resolution to seek up to $300,000 from the Pennsylvania DCED Watershed Restoration and Protection Program, authorization to award the 2026 liquid fuels road program contract to AF Damon Company for $541,999 (with staff noting a 30‑day review under the responsible contract ordinance and an anticipated July start), and multiple smaller change orders and payment authorizations. The board also approved a payment request of $39,419.10 under the CDBG Johnson Avenue improvements project to HEU Services and authorized the sale of a 2008 International recycling truck via Municibid.
Public safety funding items were approved as well: a resolution to seek $135,417.11 in officer overtime salary reimbursement and additional allotments to the Booth Wind Fire Company ($117,558.85) and Booth Wind Fire Company Ambulance (up to $150,000) were adopted. Commissioners moved and carried all items by voice vote; the transcript records few extended debates on the motions.
Solicitor and engineer reports were brief. The solicitor reported no new items; township engineer Andrew Pokal said Kingsman Park is nearing closeout with punch‑list items being addressed and that the pickleball courts are open while the playground area remains closed pending final work.
The meeting concluded after commissioners’ reports, announcements about community events and a motion to adjourn.
