Upper Township committee approves trust-fund payments, hears EMS delivery and Eagle Scout project
Summary
Committee approved payments from the affordable housing trust fund, accepted bills, heard a reported EMS ambulance delivery that produced a healthy baby, and praised an Eagle Scout candidate’s restoration project with mental-health outreach components.
The Upper Township Committee approved Resolution 25 authorizing payments from the Upper Township Affordable Housing Trust Fund and voted to approve claims and bills presented at the meeting, noting two specific abstentions on bill numbers 26-00245 and 26-00246.
Committee members opened governing-body reports with community updates: a July 4th celebration at Amanda’s Field tied to the nation’s 250th observance, county-funded roof repairs at the Tuckahoe train station historic site, and capital-project progress including a fitness-studio foundation and predesign work for a redesigned skate park. Committee member Zack Palumbo recounted a Father’s Day EMS call in Seaville in which EMTs delivered a healthy baby boy in an ambulance around 8:25 a.m.; mother and infant were later transferred to Shore Medical Center and reported doing well.
The committee also heard from Gabriel Brooks, an Eagle Scout candidate with Troop 79, who described a large renovation project at the historic Seaville Methodist Church gazebo and a proposed information board focused on mental-health resources. The committee offered logistical support, connections to local mental-health contacts and an offer of township public-works assistance for debris removal and participation in a dedication or ribbon-cutting.
Other routine business included roll-call approval of prior meeting minutes and announcements about beach replenishment scheduled to begin in early July (dates subject to change) and beach crossover closures at Webster and north of Williams for safety. The meeting adjourned with no closed session scheduled.
