Votes at a glance: Lower Frederick supervisors approve sewer study submission, road payments and appointments
Summary
At its July 7 meeting, the Lower Frederick Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted an Act 537 special study resolution for Meng Road, authorized final payments for road and chip‑seal projects, approved vehicle upfit down payment and a park-board appointment, and accepted a surplus sale offer.
The Lower Frederick Township Board of Supervisors took several formal actions at its July 7 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Adopted Resolution 2026 R‑14 to submit the Meng Road Act 537 special study to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP). The study concluded extending public sewer to Meng Road is cost‑prohibitive and recommended continued on‑lot systems with public education; the resolution passed unanimously. (Engineer: Carol)
- Authorized final payment of $87,686.17 to Saxon Sons Incorporated for Babington Road base repair and cross‑pipe replacement; the motion passed with one recusal (Supervisor Sacks recused). (Engineer: Carol)
- Authorized payment of $87,535.45 for emulsion/fog‑seal materials for the 2026 chip‑seal project to Asphalt Maintenance Solutions LLC; motion passed unanimously. (Engineer: Carol)
- Authorized a 30 percent down payment ($36,290.69) to TP Trailers for the body upfit of a 2027 Peterbilt dump truck; motion passed unanimously. (Jason, township staff)
- Accepted a $4,000 high bid via Munisibid for the sale of the township’s 2008 trailer; board approved. (Jason)
- Appointed Colleen Boyd to the Park & Recreation Board for a term ending Dec. 31, 2028; motion passed unanimously.
What next: The Meng Road resolution will be submitted to PA DEP as a revision to the township’s official sewage‑plant facilities plan. Other approvals (contract payments, down payments, and surplus sales) authorize staff to complete customary administrative steps such as executing invoices and arranging transfers.
Vote transparency: motions and votes were recorded in the meeting minutes and will be posted with the video on the township YouTube channel.
