Board adopts truck-restriction ordinance and a resolution designating confidential employees after divided roll call
Summary
The board adopted a truck-restriction ordinance for specified roads and approved resolution 2026-19 to designate certain office employees as confidential for collective bargaining purposes; the resolution drew a recorded 'no' vote from at least one supervisor but otherwise carried.
The Robinson Township Board of Supervisors adopted two formal items during the meeting: a truck restriction ordinance and a resolution designating certain employees as confidential for labor-relations purposes.
The solicitor reported that a truck-restriction ordinance (advertised as part of the 2026 ordinance series) would add "no truck" signage to Ridgeway Road and Rock Hollow Road (and referenced connecting intersections) and indicated the ordinance was advertised and ready for adoption. A motion to adopt the ordinance was seconded and carried on roll call.
Separately, the manager presented a resolution to designate certain office employees (chief of police, township manager, fiscal assistant, administrative assistant and other office staff) as confidential with respect to collective bargaining discussions. The board moved to adopt resolution 2026-19. One supervisor recorded a strong dissent, stating the resolution would silence employees; other supervisors voted in favor and the resolution passed by roll call vote. One supervisor explicitly voted 'no' on the resolution during roll call.
The record shows the board debated the confidentiality resolution briefly; the solicitor confirmed that the resolution had been reviewed with labor counsel and that counsel endorsed the measure for police collective bargaining. The resolution will be implemented in the township's employee and labor-relations practices as described in the resolution text.
