Residents press code enforcement on Delmont paving; board schedules special LSA grant meeting
Summary
A resident raised a Tribune article alleging Delmont attempted to shift paving costs to Salem Township; supervisors refused to accept the fees. The board set a special meeting Sept. 24 to finalize LSA grant quotes before the Sept. 30 deadline.
During old business, resident Kent Boggs referenced a Tribune article reporting that Delmont Borough was trying to shift $24,000 in asphalt paving costs for Church Street sewer work onto Salem Township taxpayers; supervisors said they would not accept the fees. Residents asked whether penalties or stop‑work orders had been issued against Daniel's Excavating; supervisors said code enforcement is involved but no stop‑work orders had been issued because the contractor was pursuing necessary permits. A resident asked whether any lawsuits were pending against the township; supervisors said none were pending.
Under new business the board scheduled a special meeting for Sept. 24 to finalize quotes for items (a mower and shed) related to a Local Share Account (LSA) grant application due Sept. 30, 2024. The board said quotes were not yet available and the special meeting is needed to avoid missing the grant deadline.
