GENERAL BUSINESS MEETING
Citizens Comments – The Supervisors reviewed an email received from David Weaver of 516 Martins Road. David emailed the supervisors pictures with detailed explanation of the road damage occurring due to drainage and water issues. In addition to the drainage & water issue, last winter the top of his drain pipe was sheared off by the Township grader when we were plowing. The Supervisors decided to take a look and see what can be done, after several other road projects have been completed.
