South Londonderry supervisors approve multiple contracts, personnel actions and fund separation
Summary
At its May 10 meeting the South Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors accepted multiple low bids and approved personnel and fund actions, including a $169,996 sewer contract, $13,811.88 HVAC contract, a $29,200 equipment sale, and separation of Fire Tax funds into two accounts.
The South Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors on May 10 approved a series of motions that advance ongoing capital and administrative work across the township.
The board accepted a low bid from Wexcon for $169,996.00 to replace the Mt. Gretna above-ground sewer line, and approved a $13,811.88 low bid from E. H. Williams to replace HVAC units in the highway garage. The board also accepted a $29,200.00 offer on Municibid for a 2005 backhoe and authorized township staff to complete the transfer paperwork.
In personnel action, the board approved the successful completion of Part-Time Administrative Assistant Trudy Jackson’s probation and set her hourly wage at $17.50.
The board voted to separate the township’s Fire Tax Fund into two distinct bank accounts—one for the Campbelltown Fire Company and one for the Lawn Fire Company. The motion was made by William Bova and seconded by Faith Bucks; Jack Custer abstained and the motion otherwise carried.
On procurement and project planning, the board authorized engineering firm Rettew to prepare formal bid documents for the Campbelltown Park Pavilion project after the manager and solicitor advised the project must be publicly bid.

The township provided no further detail in the minutes about contract start dates, contract terms beyond bid amounts, or specific implementation timelines for approved projects.
