Dedication ceremony Held for Bath Borough’s New playground
Looking by Back Ed Pany Cement to War, Part 4 of 7 In this continuing series, platoon leader S. Sgt. Frank Csencsitz, of Northampton, marched through Germany with the 5th division, 3rd army, under Gen. George Patton. The year was 1945. As they crossed into Germany, German soldiers started to surrender. In a prisoner check, he found this book, “Mit Hitler im
By SAVANNAH BROWN The Borough of Bath celebrated their playground dedication with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, July 5 at Paw Park. The playground was donated by the Bath Republican Association and is the largest donation the borough has received to date. To begin the ceremony, State Representative Ann Flood shared some words of gratitude. “This is such a great addition to Paw Park and an asset to Borough of Bath to be able to have families who bring their pups here and access for children to be able to play. Thank you to the Republican Club for their donation, and I know that it will be utilized and it’s a wonderful asset to the community and the families that will use it,” said State Rep Flood. Next, Mayor Fiorella Mirabito warmly shared her appreciation towards the Republican Club. “We are very grateful to them!”

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs Local teacup yorkie celebrates 20th birthday
By CATHERINE STROH Meet Pixie Dust, a local teacup yorkie who recently turned 20 years old. Her big day was celebrated with balloons and signs decorating her kingdom. She wore a birthday handkerchief and enjoyed her custom birthday cake from Bella’s Bistro, located in Easton. Pixie Dust resides in Nazareth with her people, the Frack family. At this time in her life, Pixie Dust has few teeth remaining, causing her tongue to hang out the side of her mouth, a quality everyone she meets finds rather adorable and memorable. Pixie Dust’s family refers to her as their happy camper, as she is always perky and happy. Her favorite hobbies include going on car rides, sunbathing on the front porch, and going for walks with her people in her own dog stroller. We are told the secret to her longevity is lots of head scratches and cheese.

Robert M. Werner
Robert M. “Bobby” Werner, 94, passed away peacefully at his home in Moore Township on Saturday, July 9, 2022, surrounded by family. He was the loving husband of Pauline G. (Graver) Werner, with whom he shared nearly 70 years of marriage. Born in Moore Township, he was a son of the late John C. and Sadie (Miller) Werner. After attending Nazareth High School, Mr. Werner proudly served in the United States Army during World War II. Since 1975, he owned and operated a fuel oil delivery service in Bath, until his retirement in 1991. After retiring, Mr. Werner continued to assist his sons with their fuel oil business. He was also a licensed blaster working as a subcontractor in the cement and aggregate mining industry and was previously employed as a lineman at the former Lehigh and New England Railroad. Mr. Werner was a faithful member of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, as well as a member of Manoquesy Lodge No. 413 F.& A.M., and Eckley E. Patch Post 470 American Legion, all of Bath. A tractor and car enthusiast, his passion was collecting and restoring farm tractors and classic cars. Bobby also enjoyed farming and gardening throughout his life. Survivors: In addition to his loving wife, Pauline, he is survived by three sons, Donald L. Werner and wife, Pamela, of Paxinos, Pa., Jeffrey S. Werner and wife, Susan, and William J. Werner, both of Moore Township; four grandchildren, Katie Werner, Emily Sparta and husband, Luke, Sarah and Cale Werner; along with nieces and nephews. Mr. Werner was predeceased by a brother, John Werner; and a sister, Mary Trach. Services: A funeral service will be held on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at 11 a.m. in the George G. Bensing Funeral Home, LLC, 2165 Community Drive, Route 946, in the Village of Moorestown – Bath, PA 18014. Friends
and relatives are invited to call on Thursday morning from 9 to 11 a.m. in the funeral home. Interment with Military Honors will follow in Fairview Cemetery, Moorestown.

Water’s Edge
Continued from page 1
propose the development of two industrial warehouse buildings on the 51.12 acres of land at 235 Moorestown Road, which was acquired from the Southmoore Golf Course in December 2021 for $2.63 million. Walsh presented aerial views of the land, showing that it is currently being used as a golf course with a separate existing parcel for the single-family dwelling associated with the golf course. Water’s Edge plans to consolidate the two parcels of land and demolish the buildings in order to build two industrial warehouses that total 488,150 square feet. The proposal for building one will be substantially bigger at 347,750 square feet and building two will be 140,400 square feet. Walsh shared that an expanded on-lot septic system is proposed for the development, as well as frontage improvements that include landscaping, lighting, sidewalks, truck courts consisting of loading facilities against the building, truck staging, and parking areas removed from the building that allow trucks to wait or be staged before docking, and automobile parking facilities on opposing sides of the buildings. The entrance and exit for the development will be one single driveway on Moorestown Road with a proposed widening and additional turning lanes associated with the driveway. Kaplin pointed out that the application submitted was in accordance with the original zoning ordinance, since the township amended section 200-22 of the warehouse ordinance in September 2021. Therefore, Kaplin explained, the Sept. 23, 2021 technical review letter from Horvath did not consider that the plans submitted were not subject to the township’s amended warehouse ordinance because they were submitted before the amendment was adopted. “We read the review letters and

determined if we could modify the plans for the proposed warehouse buildings to comply with issues raised throughout, we subsequently discussed many of the issues with Keystone to confirm that we understood fully the intent of all comments,” said Walsh. Kaplin expressed that the Water’s Edge team also met with township consultants to address the issues raised in the September review letter and that they submitted a memorandum in November 2021 to obtain feedback from the township regarding the issues they were not able to resolve. Water’s Edge submitted a revised application and plans on Dec. 8, 2021, which included revised materials, a point-by-point response letter to the Sept. 23 review, the memorandum outlining unresolved issues, a post-construction stormwater management plan, and an environmental and community impact statement. The Water’s Edge development team received another review letter from Horvath dated Jan. 24, 2022, in response to the resubmission and revised materials. However, Horvath did not change his previous position regarding SALDO and zoning ordinance determinations. Kaplin’s first determination challenge was for the woodlands protection versus the berm requirement along Moorestown Road and Jones Road. The section requires a 100-foot raised berm buffer yard along the front yard of any warehouse along the entire length of the property line with an average height of 14-feet along Jones Road and 4-feet along Moorestown Road. However, the environmental protection standards require a protection rate of 60%, with no more than 40% of those areas allowed to be cleared, thinned, or regraded, whereas the SALDO provides that no public improvements shall encroach into woodland areas and requires 80% protection of the woodlands. Kaplin stated, “If it were not for the berm requirement, this plan would disturb less than 40% of the woodlands and would comply with zoning requirement” since the berm requirement is incompatible with the woodlands preservation requirement, making it “impossible to comply because it is inherently contradictory as applied to this property.” “We are seeking this requirement be stricken or a variance from the provisions of the ordinance be granted, so Water’s Edge will not have to fill the berm,” said Kaplin. Next, Kaplin challenged the Zoning Officer’s determination that the submission does not meet the zoning ordinance’s requirements for off-street parking and loading spaces. However, since the proposed warehouses do not have tenants at this time, the ordinance requirement of 696 parking spaces for building one and 281 parking spaces for building two would be a significantly high rate based on a conducted traffic study. Instead, Water’s Edge proposed 253 parking spaces for building one and 128 for building two, which would exceed the required spaces when considering the 60 employees anticipated for build-
ing one at peak hour and 40 employees anticipated for building two as determined by the traffic study. Per the zoning ordinance, building one would require 44 loading spaces and building two would require 18 spaces based on a rate of one space per 8,000 square feet. However, Water’s Edge proposed 12 loading spaces situated on the southwest corner of building one and 32 loading spaces on the entire side of building two due to the configuration of the buildings. Walsh expressed that the traffic study anticipated 11 trucks at peak hour, which is less than the 12 they proposed for building one, and that both parking and loading spaces are well within these ratios on the plan as anticipated by the traffic study. Next, Kaplin addressed Keystone’s complaint that Water’s Edge failed to describe a particular use for the proposed warehouses in their application. The Zoning Officer determined that the submitted documents do not meet the minimum requirements of this section because the applicants fail to provide sufficient detail for a particular user. Walsh stated that this requirement is impossible to comply with because a proposed user is not identified at the land development stage. Kaplin requested the board overrule the determination regarding the particular use or user, and subsequently rule that this information is not required at this time. Following, Kaplin brought up the requirement for an offsite traffic analysis that analyzes all streets within two miles of the property’s boundaries. Kaplin stated that the Zoning Officer requested Water’s Edge study the 512 and 248 intersections of Bath Borough, which are not within the township and that PennDOT did not request this study. Kaplin suggested the board overrule the Zoning Officer’s determination requiring Water’s Edge to submit an intersection traffic study of two miles around the property’s boundaries. Next, Kaplin addressed the proposed lighting plan for various areas of the development that were submitted based on standards outlined by the Illuminating Engineering Society, adding that all parking areas are illuminated in the plans to those standards since the zoning ordinance does not list a quantifiable criterion or provide references. Walsh included that the proposed warehouses will not need to illuminate truck work areas because they are not intended for pedestrian use. Therefore, Water’s Edge is asking the board to overrule the Zoning Officer’s determination that states the plans do not adequately illuminate intended areas for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement. In regard to man-made versus naturally occurring steep slopes, Water’s Edge plans to level parts of the property in order to build, which will minimize stormwater run-off and erosion. Additionally, Walsh explained the disturbance of the man-made steep slopes will not alter the preservation of the environment. For this reason, Water’s Edge claims that the manmade steep slopes are exempt
www.HomeNewsPA.com
from preservation requirements and that the plans comply with applicable slope disturbance requirements. Kaplin requested the board look to the SALDO for direction on this matter and overrule the determination made by the Zoning Officer because the applicants do not agree that these particular man-made steep slopes should be regulated. Kaplin expressed that the development is prohibited from using Jones Road for warehouse improvements, so the proposed development will not be using Jones Road for warehouse traffic. Since there is a single-family dwelling on the north side of the property, the applicants were asked to realign Jones Road in the first review letter. Owner Jack Muschlitz agreed to realign Jones Road, but upon doing so, the township engineer determined that improvements were also needed for Monocacy Drive “to offset the cost of impact from the proposed development.” Kaplin expressed that according to Municipalities Planning Code 503-A, the township does not have the authority to require improvements to off-site intersections and roads. Kaplin suggested the board overrule the Zoning Officer’s determination for offsite improvements to Jones Road. Last, Kaplin presented an issue with the Zoning Officer’s determination of township SALDO Section Land Dedication Requirements for a non-residential development, which requires Water’s Edge to dedicate 2,000 square feet of open space or contribute $2,000 to the township in lieu of the dedication of land. However, the applicants stated that since no one will be inhabiting the land, this ordinance does not apply. Kaplin asked the board to either “determine that the Zoning Officer is incorrect in applying this provision to this industrial development, or if the board sees that the ordinance does apply to this industrial development, we ask that it be invalidated as a violation of the enabling section of the recreational land use.” Due to the length of the Water’s Edge at Wind Gap appeal presentation, the meeting will reconvene on Wednesday, August 17 at 6 p.m. at Moore Elementary School, located at 2835 Mountain View Dr.

Bath Borough Council looks forward to Old Home Week, addresses sanitation contract
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Bath Borough Council meeting on Tuesday, July 5, council members looked ahead to August’s Old Home Week. Tickets are now on sale for the History Night Dinner on Friday, August 19. The dinner at the American Legion will feature guest speakers sharing stories about Bath’s rich history. Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased at Hayes Flowers or by emailing batholdhomeweek@ gmail.com. Tickets, said Councilman Frank Hesch, are going fast. The week-long celebration will feature more historical fun for residents. The Bath Museum will have the Siegfried Log Cabin open on Saturday, August 20, from 10 a.m. to noon. Finally, event organizers are still looking for softball teams to play in a softball tournament on August 14. “We can always use more teams to make it that much more enjoy-
able,” said Hesch. The Bath Borough administration will even have a team called ‘The Bath Tubs.’ All council members are looking forward to the Old Home Week celebration, the first in 110 years. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito said she sent invitations to all local, state and federal dignitaries up to the President of the United States. In other news, Mayor Mirabito reported on behalf of the State Police. The July 4 weekend was a busy one for troopers in Troop M, which reported 43 crashes, 42 DUI arrests and 328 speeding citations. Even the borough saw a hitand-run accident over the holiday weekend. A driver hit three cars before crashing into the porch of 363 W. Main St. They were apprehended after fleeing the scene. Mayor Mirabito added that there will be increased police patrols throughout the summer. Anyone who attempts to flee the

Finally, Mirabito said she is drafting a letter to the state government regarding fireworks complaints. “The fireworks were horrible… We need Governor Wolf to understand it is becoming a joke,” she said. In other news, council granted conditional preliminary/final approval to Warner Properties. The property engineer proposed five lots at 450 N. Chestnut St., an 18-acre property. One of the five lots is in East Allen Township. The remaining four are in the borough, but only three of them are proposed building lots. Approval was granted subject to conditions from the engineer, solicitor and zoning officer. Finally, council addressed concerns regarding the recent sanitation contract, which does not include recycling. “The borough has simply eliminated recycling,” said resident Bobby Siegfried, “[ignoring] the very real environmental crisis of our time.” He said he commends the borough for looking for ways to alleviate financial strain on residents but wondered whether the borough should have earmarked tax dollars to subsidize sanitation costs. “I nor anyone I have spoken to want to see anyone suffer,” he said, addressing the financial strain all residents are facing. However, he said the financial savings are a short-term win. “Just because even a portion of recyclables gets trashed does not mean it is a reason not to do it,” he added. “I hope council will be a little more proactive in the future.”
Council President Michele Ehrgott said the borough can add recycling back into their contract at any time and will take it “into consideration for the future.” “It wasn’t easy,” Councilman Hesch said of the decision. The next council meeting will be Monday, August 1 at 6 p.m.

The Year 2022 marks the 80th Anniversary of the first full year of America at War during World War II. The recent invasion of Ukraine has brought back memories of Adolph Hitler’s invasions of European nations that touched off that conflict. After the attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, the United States was forced into the conflict and millions of Americans responded. As the days and months of war extended everyone’s fears, everyone began in 1942 to do their part in multiple ways, from serving in the Armed Forces to manufacturing the weapons of war and doing whatever it took to win the battles and the war. Our Society has created programming for this year that is focused on those who served gallantly and became a part of what Tom Brokaw called the “Greatest Generation” as well as those who labored at home in so many ways. We have recently received two scrapbooks that were a collection of newspaper clippings from the Allentown Morning Call. During the war families often put some news or information in the newspaper about their sons and daughters who were serving. These clippings shared the pride of these families in the soldiers, sailors, doctors and nurses, as the United States joined the effort to defeat the Axis Powers. Many Northampton Area families had multiple members serving in the war effort. Northampton even had a father and son serving together in the Navy.

The supervisors began the meeting with discussions regarding various subdivision plans and revisions.

Nothing has been submitted since they requested relief from the supervisors at the end of last year, Becker told the board. If no plans come in by the Planning Commission’s July 25 meeting, the Planning Commission will vote to deny the plan based on Keystone Consulting Engineer’s review letter dated June 21, 2021.

Northampton residents look for ways to Support Main Street Family Restaurant
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Northampton Borough Council meeting on Thursday, July 7, resident Bernie Hahn appeared before council to see whether the borough can support the Main Street Family Restaurant. The family-run business has been closed since June 19 due to the owner’s illness.
“[Owner Kimberly Pizarro] has four years straight worked seven days a week,” Hahn said. “Is there anything we can do to help?” While the borough cannot take official action, council said it can support resident-led action. “Most of us here feel the same way,” said Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. “We can partici-
pate, but we cannot be part of the lead.” Councilwoman Judith Haldemann offered to help Hahn set up a GoFundMe account. Meanwhile, Councilwoman Ronald Glassic suggested that Hahn reach out to 69 News. Borough Continued on page 9

Manager LeRoy Brobst also gave Hahn the name of a contact at Northampton County who may be able to help find grants and other funding to support the restaurant. The county received federal aid during COVID-19 to help local businesses. With multiple routes Hahn and fellow residents can take to support the business, council made it clear they will support any action they take. Council also thanked Hahn for stepping up to help. In other news, council approved a resolution granting a 3% cost-of-living increase for eight retired police officers on the
police pension plan. The increase will go into effect on August 15 and is retroactive to January 1. All council members voted in favor, except Lopsonzski, Sr., who abstained. He is a former police officer. The borough also approved several upcoming events, including the Exchange Club’s Jack Frost Parade for Thursday, October 20 at 7 p.m., and Paw Prints on the Canal for June 11, 2023. In a recreation update, Brobst announced that the swimming pool is operating smoothly. As of June 15, passes brought in $28,355, slightly behind last year. Meanwhile, the much-awaited pickleball court at Canal Park is nearing completion. The court surface has just been painted orange and black. Residents are al-
ready interested in organizing a pickleball league. Brobst, who recently returned to the office after battling COVID-19, thanked the borough staff in the office and out for keeping things running smoothly. “I consider myself blessed,” he said. “We have some great people.”
NAKKEF holds 12th annual golf Tournament at Woodstone
Submitted by BILL CONNER The Northampton Area Konkrete Kids Educational Foundation held its 12th Annual
Golf Tournament on June 20 at the Woodstone Country Club in Danielsville. The tournament featured a full field of 144 golfers, a new record of participants. Established in 2009 by a group of community volunteers, the Konkrete Kids Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization whose primary goal is to support and finance innovative programs that enhance the quality of education for Northampton Area School District’s K-12 students. The foundation provides the district’s teachers and administrators with funds that are used to extend learning opportunities and co-curricular experiences for the benefit of the entire school community. The foundation funds grant requests submitted by the
district teachers and administrators that enhance the quality of K-12 education throughout the district. Since its establishment in 2009, the foundation has provided over $190,000 for projects. Woodstone’s owner, Bruce Lack, was once again the Title Sponsor of the tournament. Mr. Lack has been the foundation’s number one supporter not only for the golf tournament, but for other foundation fundraising events as well. A number of prizes were awarded to golfers who participated in the tournament. There were three flights with first, second, and third places awarded for each flight.

“This budget adds $2.1 billion into our Rainy Day Fund, sets crucial investments in preK-12 education and mental health, as well as increased contributions to our law enforcement, infrastructure, senior community, waterways and preparing for our Commonwealth’s future with $3.6 billion for use in future budgets.” “We are repaying our debts while at the same time reducing the Corporate Net Income Tax (CINT) by reducing it from 9.99% to 8.99% next year.” This will bring more business into Pennsylvania.” Each of the four school districts included in the 138th Legislative District will benefit from increased state funding. Bethlehem Area School District, Nazareth Area School District, Northampton Area School District and Pen Argyl Area School District will benefit from over $76 million in basic education funding, with the largest portion going to Bethlehem Area School District due to its high student population. Each of these four school districts will also receive over $1 million in mental health and school safety grants, with the largest portion also going to Bethlehem Area School District. “Special education is seeing an increase of 8% in its funding within schools statewide. This is crucial to ensuring those with special needs receive the necessary tools and resources in order to receive a quality education.” The budget also provides for a one-time 70% enhancement of the Property Tax and Rent Rebate payments for low-income seniors. “Our low-income seniors have
especially felt the effects of higher utility costs and skyrocketing inflation. I was more than pleased to see that they will be offered relief.” The budget also allocates $45 million for election integrity measures. “Additionally, we put funds toward election integrity across counties and got rid of third-party funding – commonly referred to as Zuckerbucks – to help work toward restoring Pennsylvanians’ faith in our elections.” “We are funding the needs of today but planning for tomorrow. This budget saves money, pays the bills and funds people rather than the government. We are standing up for the people of Pennsylvania and I am proud to have voted yes for this budget.” The budget bill now heads to the state Senate for consideration.

Mako Bill To open up Employment Opportunities For service Members, Veterans, Spouses Becomes law
Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK The governor last Thursday signed legislation authored by Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) that helps remove obstacles for employment licensure for military service members, veterans and their spouses. Act 35 of 2022 makes it easier for service members, veterans and their spouses to obtain and renew state licensure. “As a member of the National Guard, I understand the struggles and barriers members of the military and their families face due to frequent moves and reacclimating into society after service overseas,” Mako said. “This change will assist them in securing employment in order to help support themselves and their families. I appreciate the unanimous, bipartisan backing this legislation received in the General Assembly.” More specifically, the law requires the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs and/or licensing boards to: • Expedite an application for service members, veterans and military spouses and issue an expedited temporary license. • Update the military occupational codes crosswalk as necessary to accommodate changes in a license or military skill, experience, credentials and education. • Consider military experience when determining if an applicant meets qualifications.
• Allow for early submission for licensure renewals for military members being deployed to allow them to immediately resume employment upon return. • Annually issue a report to the Pennsylvania General Assembly oversight committees regarding licensure data for service members, veterans and their spouses and recommend ways to improve the board’s ability to meet licensure needs. The law takes effect in 120 days.
Surveying Mosquitoes To reduce the Risk of West Nile Virus
Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT Lamont McClure and the Northampton County Vector Control program reminds residents that summer is the prime season for mosquito breeding and that mosquitoes can carry West Nile Virus (WNV), Zika and other diseases. WNV was first detected in the U.S. in 1999 and affects birds, humans, horses and other mammals. There were nationwide epidemics of the virus in 2003 and 2012 and the key months for WNV transmission run from August into October. In humans, 80% of the cases are asymptomatic and 20% involve non-neuroinvasive illness. Less than 1% of cases result in conditions such as encephalitis which can cause paralysis and even death. “Northampton County takes its commitment to public health very seriously,” says County Executive Lamont McClure. “West Nile can be a very dangerous disease and it is important that we prevent its transmission to humans by limiting opportunities for mosquitoes to breed.” Successful control of the mos-

had a total of 335 incidents during June. There were 12 verbal and written warnings issued, 45 traffic citations, five arrests for simple assault, cyber harassment of a child, criminal trespassing, strangulation and simple assault, and possession of a weapon with intent to use. There were also two non-traffic citations issued for harassment and disorderly conduct, five reportable accidents, and two non-reportable accidents. West expressed the township police department has been experiencing an issue with overtime due to the transfer of an officer to Northampton Borough. The township police department interviewed Fatima Zimmer for a position as a part-time police officer. Zimmer is a graduate of the Allentown Police Academy, passed her Act 57 background requirements, and is Act 120 certified by the Municipal Police
Academy’s Training and Education Commission. The supervisors voted unanimously to approve Zimmer’s part-time hire. West also presented quotes for two new 2022 Ford Explorer police vehicles, which will be paid for by the $106,525 LSA grant the department received for the vehicles. The quote from the New Holland Auto Group for the two vehicles totaled $99,405 and the quote from Koch 33 was for $99,495, with a difference of $90. However, New Holland currently has the vehicles in stock, whereas Koch 33 does not. Supervisor’s raised questions about where the vehicles will be serviced since Koch 33 is closer, but West assured the board the department has not had issues with where they go for warranty or service work and can go to any Ford dealer. The department has done business with New Holland in the past for other vehicles and has had a positive experience with them. Ultimately, the board voted to approve the purchase of the vehicles from New Holland. Fire Police Captain and Kleck-
nersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company Fire Recorder Jason Harhart reported there were a total of 31 fire calls for the month of May, which included four fires, two motor vehicle accidents, one fire police call, three automatic fire alarms, nine ambulance assists, and seven mutual aid calls for fires in Lehigh Township and Bath. There were also fire calls for a spill, trees down, wires down, a gas leak, and a carbon monoxide alarm. Additionally, the fire company had 39 ambulance calls during May. Public Works Director Craig Hoffman reported the department completed a scratch coat and two-inch overlay paving on Bok Road. The department also received the snow plow they ordered in January and replaced two pipes on Birch Road and Glaze Road. Richard Gable with the First Regional Compost Authority reported they purchased a new horizontal grinder at a cost of $607,168. FRCA traded in a stacking machine that wasn’t being used for $10,000, which

from this change. This will affect individuals that have delinquent real estate taxes. The board approved the advertisement of this ordinance as well. The supervisors unanimously approved changes in pricing for pavilion rentals, which will now cost $75 for weekday evening rentals of up to three hours instead of the normal $150 rental cost, and youth organizations will no longer be charged for pavilion rentals—instead, the township will request youth organizations to donate to the Recreation Commission. Last, the board received two bids for the sale of the 61 acres of Schiavone Farm. One of the bids was from Phil Rocco for $325,000, and the other was from Red Edge Farm for $150,000. The township paid $825,000 for the 72 acres of land in October 2019 and received $245,000 for the preservation of the land for agricultural use only, with 11 acres of that land being split off to create Schiavone Park. The board felt the bids were significantly low and moved to deny both. The township also approved a motion to re advertise the farm in the upcoming week. The next Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 2 at 6 p.m. in the municipal building, located at 2491 Community Dr.

brought the total to $597,168. They received approval for $700,000 from a 902-recycling grant but must spend the money before it is refunded by the grant, so the FRCA took out a $600,000 loan for the machine. Next, the Recreation Commission requested the boards approval for fitness equipment that will go around an area of the football field, which would roughly cost $12,500. However, Township Manager Nicholas Steiner requested quotes for the equipment and for the commission to figure out the permanent location for the equipment first before a decision is made. The Land and Environmental Protection Board reported they intend to advertise for the upcoming Electronics Recycling Day, which will be on Saturday, August 6 from 9 to 11 a.m. and the board approved the advertisement unanimously. In other news, the board approved website updates to change some existing pages and add several new pages for organization and informational purposes. Township Manager Steiner expressed the new pages would include electronic permitting and payments, frequently asked questions, Finance and Tax Administration with tax collector information and budgeting information, Parks and Recreation, Schiavone Park, court information that will link to the police department, winter information, and leaf collection. The board also approved an amendment to delinquent real estate collection to account for new guidelines from the Consumer Financial Detection Bureau regarding the first step of the debt collection process. This update will also authorize Portnoff Law Associates to collect the increased fees that will result
