It was suggested by the Board that the water in the township building should be tested for content.

Matt Houtmann, Township Engineer, reported that he has had contact with Mr. McKay regarding the Ponds Edge dedication. A letter has been sent to him stating outstanding items to be completed before dedication. Mr. Patten received a request from Mr. McKay for a 6 month extension for completion of items.

Mr. Roger Arthur was present and also wrote a letter to the Board regarding a drainage problem he is having on his property. He states the water runs across Constitution Drive onto his driveway and runs down the side creating erosion. Mr. Allen stated that it looks like the driveway was put in and not built up property along the side. Mr. Arthur suggested the gutters need to be repaired and the crown of the road built up to prevent water flowing onto his property. The Board asked Mr. Allen to suggest some solutions to this problem and come back to the Board to discuss.

Dawson Mill - Mr. Reynolds reported he wrote a letter to Mrs. Dawson stating that she should replace the mill roof at her expense per Rob Howard's specifications. We will reimburse her the cost when the property transfers to us. However, if this does not happen, the township will reimburse her the difference between a "standard" roof replacement vs a restored roof.

OLD/NEW BUSINESS

Mr. Patten reported he and Mr. Bill Wood did visit the Vernon Bailey property. Mr. Wood will submit an appraisal on the property. Larry Andersen reported he had talked to Bill Wood regarding the Felix property. Bill will have the paper work done soon on this.

The road barriers on Rt. 1 by the Gables are down. Ms. Howley reported she had contacted PennDot about this and will do so again.

Mr. Reynolds stated he did get a message from Elaine Elbich of PennDot saying the ROW division of PennDot will have to schedule their meeting with the township. However, it is PennDot feeling that this process will not get done faster if the township decides to do it. Mr. Reynolds commented that we still want to understand the process and wish to meet with the ROW division. PennDot stated funding is available for the Rt. 926 & Parkersville Road project and it is scheduled to be let November, 2000. The township would like to see the project done with the "S" curve project during next year's construction season.

A bill list dated November 15^th numbering 1431-1524, State Fund 127-129 were submitted and approved for payment. With no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:40 P.M.

Respectfully submitted:

Kathleen Howley
