Development News from the latest meeting
Joe Bresnan Appointed to Sewer and Municipal Authorities
Joe Bresnan was appointed to fill Lori Higgins' vacant five-year term as the township representative on the Lower Perkiomen Valley Sewer Authority through December 2029. He was also appointed to fulfill a vacant term on the Municipal Authority through December 2028. Bresnan's existing knowledge of stormwater and legal matters is considered beneficial for both roles.
Township Approves June Bills, Updates Capital Asset Policy, and Finalizes Tax Assessment Settlements
The Board of Supervisors approved the bill list for June 2026, totaling $1,891,891,162.73, and the minutes from the June 15, 2026, Board of Supervisors meeting. They also adopted Resolution 2026-29 to update the township's capital asset policy, raising the threshold for capital assets from $2,500 to $10,000, a procedural change suggested by auditors that does not affect the budget, taxes, or depreciation schedules. Additionally, they authorized the solicitor to execute settlement agreements for board assessment appeals for two properties: 600 Campus Drive, resulting in an annual tax reduction of approximately $10,000, and the town center property, leading to an annual reduction of approximately $18,000. The township will also reimburse previously paid taxes for these properties totaling around $24,000.
Trail Concerns Raised, Student Representative Proposed for Board
The Board of Supervisors heard significant public comment regarding a proposed trail through the Regency and Providence neighborhoods. While the current trail master plan is a planning document without approved construction or funding, residents expressed concerns about privacy, security, health (especially for seniors), civil liability, and environmental runoff. The board also discussed a proposal to appoint a non-voting student representative to the Board of Supervisors to provide a younger perspective, nominating Samarth Mangold, a sophomore at Springford High School, for the role.
Township Accepts Traffic Signal Easement for College Mill Road and Curriculum Boulevard Intersection
The board adopted Resolution 2026-37 to accept an expanded traffic signal easement from Curriculum and Woods Property Owners Association at the intersection of College Mill Road and Curriculum Boulevard. This new easement subsumes an existing smaller one and is necessary for the installation of traffic lights.
Township Accepts Deed of Right-of-Way for 246 Hafner Road
The board considered adopting Resolution 2026-36, accepting a deed of dedication of right-of-way for 246 Hafner Road. This follows a minor subdivision that created two lots, where the owner agreed to dedicate a portion of the roadway to the township for potential future sidewalk installation. The acceptance of this deed formalizes the township's ownership of this right-of-way.
