Overseeing a short agenda at its second monthly meeting Tuesday, the North Cornwall Township Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to make a payment of $114,573 to CB Construction Services.
The funds will be dispensed once the agency completes a few outstanding items, which township manager Justin Thompson said include minor fixes like touching up paint.
North Cornwall and North Lebanon continue to approach a merged police department, with the Lebanon County Regional Police Department planned to be operational in January.
Before then, the Regional Police Commission will meet on Dec. 10 and 19 to iron out final details. Officers will be sworn into the new department in a ceremony at the county municipal building at 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 19.
The board unanimously agreed to approve the minutes for its Nov. 12 meeting, which LebTown was unable to cover. At this meeting, the board unanimously passed a Debt Act Ordinance to obtain a bond to replace the Dairy Road Pump Station.
Amidst other action, supervisors unanimously agreed to advertise the 2025 budget, which is up for adoption on Dec. 3.
The budget does not propose a tax increase. Police expenses increase by around $80,000, which Thompson said is a normal increase in cost from year to year regardless of regionalization.
In other news, the board:
- Unanimously agreed to sign and send a letter to begin the 2024 audit.
- Heard monthly reports from the police and fire department.
North Cornwall meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively. These meetings are open to the public and do not require prior registration.
