At its annual reorganization meeting on Monday night, the Pocopson Township Board of Supervisors elected Barney Leonard as chair and Georgia F. Brutscher as vice-chair.
“I will work very hard to maintain order in the meetings and get the business of the people done,” Leonard promised.
Supervisors Leonard, Brutscher and Ricki Stumpo also approved a lengthy list of reappointments and an omnibus fee schedule. The existing fees remain unchanged. However, the township approved the hiring of United Inspection Agency as the township’s electrical inspector so charges related to electrical inspections were added.
A resolution establishing boundaries for emergency service providers passed unanimously. Longwood and Po-Mar-Lin Fire Companies, Longwood Ambulance, and Pennsylvania State Police from the Avondale barracks will serve the township.
In response to a third offer of dedication, the supervisors agreed to authorize the appropriate officials and consultants to assess the work by Toll Brothers at the Preserve at Chadds Ford and report back to the board.
Brutscher said she had received many calls from residents who expressed gratitude for the recently completed roundabout on Route 52. “It seems to be working well,” she said.
So far, Brutcher said the only negative comments have come from tractor-trailer drivers. “You know what? This is not I-95,” she said, adding that there’s plenty of room for big rigs if they use the apron.
Brutscher said township resident and former supervisor Steve Conary had worked tirelessly for eight years to help make the project happen, and the supervisors agreed to send him a letter of recognition.
Leonard expressed the board’s appreciation for three recent donations made by township residents. He said Bruce Yeltin wrote a check to the township for $1,000; the Fair Play Foundation, run by Blaine T. Phillips Jr., donated $7,500, earmarked for the historic Locust Grove school; and Bill and Marie Strahan gave $1,500 to the township and $500 to the Longwood Fire Company.
Monday night’s meeting eliminated the need for a meeting on Monday, Jan. 12, so the next supervisors’ meeting is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the township building.
