Pennsbury news briefs May 17

• Pennsbury Township supervisors decided to take a neutral stance on a Zoning Hearing Board application for a side yard setback variance. A hearing for Carmen Campenelli is set for June 7. Campenelli, of Shadow Lane, wants to put in a swimming pool on the side of his home.

• Supervisors approved a resolution establishing procedures for consultants involved in township pension plans to show they have no conflicts of interest. Solicitor Tom Oeste said the resolution was needed because of changes to the state’s Pension Funding Act made in 2009.

• Emergency Management Coordinator Lloyd Roach made a brief presentation to supervisors regarding options for citizens being notified of road closures and emergencies. One option is a reverse 911 call to home phones from the county. Another system, Ready to Notify, also calls cell phones, pagers and sends texts to Smart Phones. People must voluntarily subscribe to that one. The county pays for both systems. There is also a third system run by a private company, but the township pays for that service.  Supervisors will review the information Roach provided before making a decision, though Roach did recommend system two. Roach said he would be willing to write an explanation for the township newsletter.
