The Middletown Township Board of Supervisors convened on February 7, 2022, to address several key issues impacting the community, including financial approvals and a significant land development project for a new elementary school.
One of the primary actions taken during the meeting was the approval of the bill list totaling $1,037,079.04, which reflects ongoing municipal expenses. Additionally, the board approved a settlement agreement with Akash Patel and the Lower Bucks County Joint Municipal Authority concerning the installation of Ballards around a fire hydrant at 120 Roberts Avenue. This decision aims to enhance public safety and accessibility.
The board also finalized payments related to the 2021 road improvement program, approving change orders and a final payment of $174,671.92 to James D. Morrissey. This project, which originally had a contract amount of approximately $1 million, saw an increase due to additional work, ultimately bringing the total to around $1.6 million. Despite exceeding the initial bid, officials noted that the costs remained within the budgeted amount for the year.
In a significant development for local education, the board considered the preliminary and final land development plans for a new elementary school at the Maple Point Campus. The proposed school, which will be located adjacent to Core Creek Park, is part of the Neshaminy School District's efforts to enhance educational facilities. The project does not require any variance relief, although the district is seeking waivers related to financial security provisions. The school is expected to be funded through a $35 million bond, ensuring that necessary public improvements are addressed.
The meeting concluded with a resolution declaring a snow emergency on January 28, 2022, highlighting the township's commitment to public safety during inclement weather.
These decisions reflect the board's ongoing efforts to manage municipal finances responsibly while also investing in community infrastructure and educational resources. As the township moves forward, residents can expect continued updates on these projects and their impacts on local services and facilities.
