Robeson supervisors briefed on police grants, ARPA spending and approve MOU and small settlement
Summary
The township manager reported ARPA/SLFRF reporting and $780,361.10 previously expended; police chief announced firearms and taser grants; supervisors approved an MOU correction and accepted an insurance offer on a small claim.
Township leaders on Tuesday received updates on grants, Treasury reporting and local services and approved several administrative items.
Chief Joe Brown (speaker 8) said the department received a firearms grant for $17,226 and a taser grant for $38,932; he said equipment paperwork is in process and he will report back at the next meeting. He also described multi‑jurisdiction truck enforcement related to a bridge closure and noted the state police will help with targeted speed enforcement using radar and speed‑sign data. (Speaker 8)
Township manager (speaker 6) reported liquid fuels reports are up to date and that the township’s ARPA/SLFRF reporting shows $780,361.10 in funds were expended — notably for a previous bridge repair — and that required Treasury reporting remains in effect. The manager said two local applicants had applied for an open township position and that a renewed memorandum of understanding with the local animal shelter (ARL) will be on the next agenda; the proposed MOU continues reimbursement at $200 per impounded dog. (Speaker 6)
The solicitor presented a proposed memorandum of understanding to correct tax roll assignment for a Goldwell Road property and the board moved to accept it. The board also discussed a vehicle‑damage claim where the defendant’s liability carrier offered the policy limit (about $5,000) and, after solicitor and manager advice that extended litigation could increase costs, the board reluctantly authorized accepting the carrier’s payment. (Speakers 11, 6, 1)
The chair also administered appointments for two volunteers to serve as special fire police for the Jabberwala Fire Company; paperwork was completed and the board welcomed the appointees. The meeting concluded with planning and public‑works updates; the supervisors then entered executive session and later adjourned. (Speakers 1, 5, 7)
