The Board of Supervisors approved a performance security reduction for the Senior Living Community at Brodhead Road, lowering the bond from $2,619,618.20 to $2,235,345.08 based on the engineer’s confirmation that mobilization, 40% of earth moving, and 91% of compost filter sock installation were complete. The board also authorized Weiss Burkhart Kramer, LLC to open an escrow account at PNC Bank for depositing taxes collected on the township’s behalf. A resolution to adopt a Tobacco Free Parks program, presented by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Environmental Advisory Council, was placed on the next agenda; the program is free, includes up to 400 signs from the Allegheny County Health Department, and relies on self-policing without fines. The board heard updates on several pending items: a conditional use application for a communication tower at 150 Hookstown Grade Road, a subdivision plan to relocate a stormwater easement for residents, and a road dedication for Foxwood Knolls Phase 3, all scheduled for the December 6 meeting. The engineer reported that Youngblood Paving’s Pay Application No. 2 for $628,983.05 will be on the next agenda, covering paving on multiple roads, and that the University Boulevard sidewalk project is complete with final payments due. A change order for the Brodhead at University Boulevard sidewalk project, addressing unforeseen field conditions, and a $32,000 proposal for geotechnical services on the Boggs School Road slope stabilization were also slated for December 6. The board agreed to allow Crescent Township and MTMA to participate in the 2018 Road Improvement Program, with a preliminary list including completion of Old Thorn Run Road, Fern Hollow Road, and Boggs School Road. The finance director presented October financial reports and the check register for signature. The parks and recreation director reported on the Moon Playground project, the upcoming Christmas Tree Lighting, and ongoing negotiations with the school district for pool usage. The board approved a $1,000 donation to the Military Family Carnival Commander Package and discussed a resolution on Act 42 of 2017 regarding Category 4 casinos. The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
