Summary
At its June 1 meeting the board unanimously approved motions to advertise a Conditional Use hearing for Audubon Land Development, solicit demolition bids under an LSA grant, award the gasoline bid to Rhoads Energy, accept a zoning board resignation and authorize auction of a surplus police vehicle; most votes were 5-0.
The Lower Pottsgrove Board of Commissioners on June 1 approved a slate of routine but consequential municipal actions, including advertising a Conditional Use hearing, seeking demolition bids tied to an LSA grant, awarding a gasoline contract and authorizing the auction of a retired police vehicle.
The board voted unanimously to advertise a Conditional Use hearing for Audubon Land Development (Romig Tract) set for July 6 at 6:00 p.m.; Solicitor Jamie Ottaviano said the application requests steep‑slope relief and must be advertised twice before the hearing. Commissioner Robert Mohollen moved to advertise the hearing and Commissioner James Hutchinson seconded; the motion passed 5-0.
Manager Edward C. Wagner told the board the township received an LSA grant for about $35,000 to demolish two wood barns (Bleim Road and Prusshill Road). Commissioner William Keohane moved to solicit demolition bids; Commissioner Eileen Bailey seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
On procurement, Commissioner James Hutchinson moved to award the township’s gasoline bid to Rhoads Energy Inc. of Boyertown (for the township gasoline tank); Commissioner Robert Mohollen seconded and the board approved the award 5-0.
Personnel and surplus property actions were also unanimous: the board accepted the resignation of Patty Bleakley as an alternate member of the Zoning Hearing Board (motion by William Keohane, seconded by James Hutchinson) and approved Resolution 1399‑26 authorizing the auction via Municibid of a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicle (minimum bid announced as $5,000 by Manager Wagner; motion by Robert Mohollen, second by William Keohane). The board also approved Warrant #968 and accepted the Treasurer’s Report for April 2026 (both motions passed 5-0).
The board voted earlier in the meeting to approve the minutes from May 4, 2026 by a 4-0 tally (Commissioner Eileen Bailey had not yet arrived). Commissioners later voted 5-0 to cancel the June 18, 2026 meeting. The board adjourned at 7:17 p.m.
