At its regular meeting the Middletown Board of Supervisors handled several routine matters and a traffic ordinance reading.
Votes and formal motions at a glance:
- Carpet replacement at municipal center: Supervisor (speaker 12) moved to authorize replacement of carpeting at the Middletown Township Municipal Center in the amount of $62,340.26; the motion was seconded and the record shows "Motion carries 4 0." This was tied to a $150,000 line in the capital plan for carpeting and furniture, with the carpeting vendor proposed to be the same CoStarz vendor used previously.
- 2023 ADA curb ramp program: Staff requested authorization to advertise bids for the 2023 ADA curb ramp program (program budget noted in the capital improvements program as $400,000). A motion to authorize advertisement to solicit bids was moved, seconded and supported by voice 'Aye' in the excerpt.
- Ordinance 23-01 (Briggs Road no-stopping/parking zone): Staff presented Ordinance 23-01 to prohibit stopping, standing or parking on Briggs Road between Langhorne-Yardley Road and Paxton Lane from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and explained a resident-permit scheme for about 14 properties within 200 feet. A motion to adopt the ordinance was made and seconded; the transcript excerpt records the motion and follow-up enforcement discussion but does not include a full roll-call vote within the provided record.
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda by motion and voice vote during the meeting excerpt.
Additional procedural detail: For items that were authorized to be advertised or approved, staff described implementation steps: public-works signage and a grace period for compliance before active police enforcement for the Briggs Road ordinance, and typical bid-advertising procedures for the ADA ramp program.
If specific roll-call tallies or the identity of seconders are required for official minutes, the transcript excerpt provides the mover(s) for some motions but not full roll-call names for every recorded vote in the excerpt; the carpet replacement vote is recorded as 4-0 in the transcript.
