Sight Distance Concerns at the Airport Rd. and Seven Points Intersection
A meeting with the owners was held and they are willing to remove one shed so that trucks
coming off Airport will have a better angle to turn onto Seven Points Rd. The township will
make the intersection a little wider and will look into getting some signage on both roads about a
hidden road, slowing down on the curve, and discussing tree removal with the property owner to
the east of Airport Rd.
Comfort Road Bridge- Chuck Hopta from Northumberland County reported that the bridge
replacement on Comfort Road is on hold because of bats that may be in the area. The school
district is aware of the bridge replacement project.

Surplus Property Application – Surplus property is used property from the federal government
which can be purchased through the state for items such as office furniture, filing cabinets, tools,
and other items. Stephanie presented an application to the board to sign up for the ability to
purchase items at the state warehouse in Harrisburg or online. Skyler moved, seconded by Julie
to approve the signing of the application for the surplus property purchasing. Motion was passed
unanimously.
Public Comment
Paula Greco commented on the need for the Planning Commission to meet to discuss the
Smucker Project. Her thoughts were that the Planning Commission already made the conditions
and once they are met the Board of Supervisors would review. When she looked at the submitted
plans, neither the Smucker’s nor the county signed the plans and they were two of the conditions.
Review of and authorization to pay all bills
Skyler made a motion to pay all the bills. Julie seconded the motion. Motion passed without
opposition.
Motion to Adjourn
Skyler made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:39 p.m. Julie seconded the motion. Motion
