SUPERVISORS
The Supervisors decided to not file their own RFP for a Zoning plan but instead meet with Lower Nazareth Township, Nazareth Borough and maybe Bath Borough to see about doing a coordinated zoning plan.
ENGINEER
Approval for a Truck Restriction Engineering study to post signs at Florey Farms subdivision (Route 248) for a 10 ton weight limit and “No trucks except for local deliveries” signage.
Approval for Township Solicitor Gary Asteak to draft an ordinance to be reviewed at the next meeting for signage on Gun Club Road to limit truck traffic on the southern end. Part of Gun Club Road is in Nazareth which will make the verbiage more complicated. The engineer pointed out that large trucks can’t transverse the curve on Gun Club Road without crossing over the center line.
SOLICITOR
Gary Asteak reported that Tadmor has filed a certification and there will be a court case in April concerning the definition of a warehouse.
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

Approval for the township to apply for a State Local Share funding grant for $290,000 to purchase 2 new trucks and other equipment. The application includes a $100 fee and must be filed by March. This motion passed 3-to-1 with Brian Sayago voting against because the Resolution had not been made available to the public in advance.
STORMWATER
