Birmingham Township will be
spending $70 a month to empty a dog waste container at Sandy Hollow Park.
Supervisors voted 3-0 to authorize the expense during their July 5 meeting.
Recreation, Parks and Open
Space Committee Chairman Michael Langer made the recommendation, saying the
container gets filled quickly with other material, such as bottles and cartons,
even though the container is clearly marked. He said he found a person willing
to take the contents to the township Dumpster twice a month, at $35 per trip.
The board will re-evaluate the
need in the fall.
In another matter, supervisors
authorized a letter to the Route 52 Scenic Byways Commission.
The letter, drafted by
Supervisors’ Chairman Join Conklin, said that even though Birmingham Township
declined to re-join the commission earlier this year, it is still willing to
assist. In the letter, Conkln said the commission should remove Creek Road from
its scope of activity. He said the topography of Creek Road is limited to begin
with.
“Our board wishes to assist, even though we have chosen not
to join. … Until land or easements become available, we are planning no
changes,” the letter said.
Conklin had been an original
commission representative from Birmingham, but said the amount of Route 52 in
the township is “minimal.”
The commission added Creek Road
to its list to give Birmingham a reason to get involved, he said.
Other business
Supervisors authorized the
hiring of a new part time police officer, Jared Davis of East Marlborough
Township.
