Summary

Roadmaster Richard Macklem reported routine winter maintenance—cold patching, plowing, anti-skid application, F550 spreader hose installation and trailer inspection—and said the township did not receive the DCED LSA grant for a new building; he cited more than 3,000 applications and 1,100 awards totaling $268 million.

Roadmaster Richard Macklem reviewed recent public-works activity: crews applied cold patch on Dennison Hollow Road and on pipe crossings on West Side Road, plowed snow and spread anti-skid after storms, installed new hoses on the F550 spreader, and completed the annual trailer inspection.

Macklem also reported that the Department of Community and Economic Development held a special meeting that afternoon and that Watson Township did not receive the LSA grant for a proposed new building. He stated that "more than 3,000 applications were submitted, totaling over $1.3 billion, and 1,100 grants were awarded, totaling $268 million." The minutes record his report but do not include follow-up steps or an appeal plan.
