The Boy Scout lease agreement has been prepared by Dave Patten and he will contact them for signatures. The Board has approved the draft.
Cossart Road Closing Ordinance - Dave Patten has drafted an ordinance to temporarily close the road. This has been faxed to Terry Brewer and Terry is to contact the state police to make sure this will help with the enforcement of laws on this road. A township permit must be circulated amongst property owners and signed by them before the road can be closed. Dave Allen stated PennDot must also be notified since traffic will be detoured onto state roads.
The township audit has been started by Tim Umbreit.
Supervisors will meet with Joe Lordi from the library on March 2nd at 7:30 A.M. in the township building. Rickey Wolffe will be moving and can no longer represent the township on the library board.
Complaints have been received regarding parking on the shoulder along Rt. 52 in the village of Fairville. The state police said they cannot ticket unless the road is signed with "no parking". Dave Allen has been asked to make a recommendation to the Board on this situation regarding the merits of adding signs.
The township has received a PennDot permit for the work at Rt. 52 and Hickory Hill Road. Mr.
Bailey who lives at the corner will be contacted again and advised of the scope of work to be
done by his property.
