East Rockhill supervisors approve routine business, adopt stormwater plan and authorize municipal office bids
Summary
The East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors on Jan. 22, 2019 approved minutes and bills, granted final approval for 2019 projects, authorized recordation for parts of the Pennridge Airport plan, approved a $900 invoice from a contractor for fire response (with lien authority), and authorized advertising of municipal office bid documents.
The East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors met Jan. 22, 2019, and carried a series of routine and project votes, including approvals of minutes, bills, project lists and agenda‑related recordations.
The board unanimously approved the Dec. 20, 2018 regular meeting minutes and the Jan. 7, 2019 reorganization meeting minutes. It also approved payment of two bills lists: unpaid 2018 bills totaling $68,051.20 and 2019 unpaid bills totaling $336,718.40. Motions were made by Jim Nietupski and seconded by David Nyman and carried with all present voting in favor.
The board accepted the Planning Commission report and approved final action on the township’s proposed 2019 projects and equipment. Supervisors also approved recordation of the Pennridge Airport Business Park lot 2 and the Pennridge Airport Hangar lot line adjustment; the hangar land development plan itself was not ready for full agreement or recordation.
An invoice of $900 from Seifert Paving & Excavating for services at a dwelling fire on Nov. 29, 2018 was approved for payment. Township Solicitor John Rice advised the township could attempt to recoup costs from the property owner and place a lien if the charge remains unpaid; the board approved payment and directed recovery efforts.
Township Manager Marianne Morano presented an overview of the municipal office addition and renovation project and the board approved a waiver of land development and authorized the project documents to be advertised for bid. Morano said the work is intended to add staff safety features and a public meeting space with a screen, and that public water and sewer would be installed because the existing well water is not potable. Project cost is unknown until bids are received.
On procedural items, the board acknowledged department and emergency services reports, accepted the Pennridge Regional Police activity report and approved various Planning and engineering recommendations filed in the board packets. The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
The board’s next steps for several items are to receive bids for the municipal office project and to pursue recovery of fire‑related costs if the property owner does not pay.
