• Pennsbury Township supervisors agreed June 11 to a new 15-year contract with Comcast for cable television service. The township will get 5 percent of the total gross revenue Comcast derives from Pennsbury customers. Solicitor Tom  Oeste said that’s the maximum allowed by law.

• Supervisors also voted to join with other townships to petition the state legislature to redefine and raise the threshold for the prevailing wage. Under a 1961 law, all municipal contracts for work costing more than $25,000 had to be bid at the prevailing wage. Supervisor Wendell Fenton said the current prevailing wage law increases costs by 30 percent.
