Blair Township adopts ordinance increasing supervisors' pay and directs solicitor to draft parking restrictions on Dunnings Highway
Summary
Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑01 increasing supervisor compensation and authorized Solicitor Patrick Fanelli to draft and the board to advertise an amendment to the parking ordinance to extend no‑parking restrictions along Dunnings Highway between Newry Lane and the Newry Borough line.
The Blair Township Board adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑01, which increases supervisors' compensation, after reviewing changes and confirming no public requests to review the proposed ordinance following advertisement on Jan. 23, 2025. Chairman Paul Amigh moved to approve the ordinance and the board recorded the motion as passed with two yes votes.
Police Chief Roger Peacock requested a revision to the township parking ordinance to address safety concerns and resident complaints about motorists parking along Dunnings Highway during business sales. Solicitor Patrick Fanelli agreed to draft an amendment extending parking restrictions along the stretch between Newry Lane and the Newry Borough line. The board approved authorizing Fanelli to prepare the ordinance and approved advertising the revised ordinance after the draft is provided. Road Foreman John Reed noted that PennDOT approval may be required because that section is a state road and said the Township would be responsible for purchasing and maintaining any signs.
The board did not set a timeline for final adoption beyond authorizing preparation and advertising; the advertised draft will be the next step toward potential local regulatory changes.
