Township receives AED; police, road and zoning updates noted ahead of summer events
Summary
Fire department raffle committee members presented an AED for public use at the Township Building; Chief Brown reviewed the police report and a new cell phone law; the road department reported prep work for paving and a Williamson Road pipe project; Tri County land development plans are forthcoming.
Members of the West Mead Township Fire Department Raffle Committee — Brad Johnston, Sherri Rhoades and Jim Pratt — presented an automated external defibrillator (AED) purchased with online raffle revenues to be placed in the Township Building meeting room for public use.
Chief Brown reviewed the police report and briefly discussed a new cell phone law; the minutes do not cite a statute or provide further detail. Supervisor Shartle reported the Road Department spent the past month cutting brush, doing ditching and completing road preparation work ahead of upcoming paving projects. He said a pipe installation will be done this week on Williamson Road near its intersection with Stauffer Road.
Secretary Jill M. Dunlap gave the zoning report and told the board that Tri County will present land development plans to the Township Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors in coming months for review. The chair also announced the township’s 2026 paving projects, to be performed by Shields Asphalt Paving Inc. on Williamson Road, Saybrooke Road, Chad Lane, Cyrus Lane and Pawnee Drive; work is expected to be completed before September, weather permitting. Residents were asked to obey flaggers and slow down in construction zones.
The chair reminded residents that the Thurston Classic Hot Air Balloon Races, June 18–21, may use the outfield and open-field area in Oak Grove Park as a race target area and warned of increased pedestrian activity and parked vehicles near Tamarack Lake during the event.
The meeting’s municipal reports focused on near-term public-safety and transportation issues and routine planning notifications; there were no policy votes tied to the zoning notice or paving announcement.
