Authority approves subcontractor to install new water meters over one recorded opposition

The West Cocalico Township Authority voted on Aug. 11 to hire a subcontractor to install the new water meters as part of the Water Meter Replacement Program; the motion was seconded by Dave Gingrich and carried despite recorded opposition from Bryon Hurst.

The meeting minutes record the vote as "motion carried" and explicitly note Bryon (spelled in the minutes as 'Bryon') Hurst opposed the motion. The minutes do not include a roll-call tally or the subcontractor's name, scope of work, contract amount or expected installation schedule.

Separately, HRG reported the meter replacement program is still waiting on an Antenna Attachment Agreement from Lancaster EMS, which HRG said is required before certain equipment installations proceed. The minutes do not indicate when the Antenna Attachment Agreement might be finalized.
