At its June 30 meeting, the East Lampeter Board of Supervisors completed several personnel and policy actions: the board formally swore in a newly appointed police officer, recognized a life‑saving response by township police, appointed a new primary building code official and adopted Lancaster County's hazard mitigation plan.
The chair administered the oath to Isa Meyer, who was introduced as a Chester County native and a graduate with a master's degree in criminal justice; Meyer is scheduled to attend the Reading Police Academy in July.
Police leadership also presented a life‑saving recognition. Chief described an incident on June 2 when an officer identified in the record as "Officer Zner" responded to a cardiac arrest, applied AED pads and delivered a shock; emergency crews continued life‑saving measures and the patient, identified as 46‑year‑old Matthew Scott Brandt, survived and returned home. Chief also noted that passenger Kurt Wrenchaw took control of steering and helped stop the vehicle without causing further incidents; the board said it will present Mr. Wrenchaw with in‑person recognition when available.
On personnel, the board appointed Jacob Bowen as a primary building code official after he completed required training and the state exam; the board voted to approve the appointment by voice.
The board adopted the Lancaster County 2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan, a countywide document the township participated in; staff noted adoption enables eligibility for FEMA/PEMA mitigation funding for items in the plan such as traffic‑signal backup generators and floodplain projects.
The board also reapproved a small‑dollar settlement form with PennDOT after the department changed its agreement paperwork. Several other routine appointments and approvals (including appointment of Daryl Zimmerman to the Industrial Commercial Development Authority and authorization of fire‑police assistance for the New Holland Borough Fair) were approved by voice vote.
The board adjourned after announcing a conditional‑use hearing on July 8 and the next regular meeting on July 13.
What happens next: Isa Meyer will attend the Reading Police Academy as scheduled; staff will pursue any FEMA/PEMA opportunities tied to the hazard plan and will process the building code official appointment and ICDA seating per standard administrative steps.
