1
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,640
Good evening everyone. This is the
Northampton Township Board of

2
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,439
Supervisors meeting. It is Wednesday,
May 27th, 2026. I'd like to call the

3
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:30,560
meeting to order. We'll begin with a
pledge of allegiance and a moment of

4
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,840
silence. Since it was just Memorial Day,
let's continue to remember those heroes

5
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,719
who lost their lives fighting for this
country.

6
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:44,480
Pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

7
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:51,320
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

8
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,320
justice for all.

9
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,559
» Thank you.

10
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:10,640
There will be two opportunities for
public comment this evening. The first

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,640
is limited to agenda items only. Do we
have anyone signed up this evening?

12
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:23,840
» No. Okay.
We'll move on to consent items. Uh first

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:31,360
is approval of minutes April 22nd, 2026.
Second is accounts payable May 13, 2026.

14
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:35,119
Third, accounts payable May 27, 2026.
And fourth, we have consideration of

15
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:38,720
resolution R26-11.
Supervisor Rose.

16
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:44,159
» Yes. To help meet the township's
unfunded mandate of the municipal

17
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:48,880
separate storm water system permit. The
township proposes improvements to an

18
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:53,920
existing basin in the Deerfield North
neighborhood located on Misty Meadow

19
00:01:51,280 --> 00:02:00,479
Drive by constructing
new best management practices. BMPPS to

20
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:06,560
reduce storm water flow. The basin is
expected to achieve approximately 10 to

21
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:12,480
15% of the township sediment reduction
requirement for the MS 4 program. To

22
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:17,440
help cover the cost, the township
proposes applying for a greener a

23
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:22,239
growing greener grant offered by the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental

24
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:27,599
Protection to design the improvement.
The total cost estimate to design this

25
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:35,760
project is $90,000.
The grant requested is $85,000 with a 5%

26
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:40,400
township match of $4,500.
A requirement of this grant program is

27
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,280
for the boards of supervisors to adopt a
resolution authorizing the application

28
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,519
and designing the township designating
the township manager and assistant

29
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,640
township manager as the officials to
execute all documents and agreements

30
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,879
necessary.
>> Thank you. Next is consideration uh for

31
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,400
the authorization of a grant application
for Richboro Elementary Crosswalk.

32
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,800
Supervisor Moore.
>> Sure. Thanks. U this is another um

33
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,400
crosswalk that we're putting in town. As
people drive around town, you see a lot

34
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,480
of new sidewalks going in uh for public
safety. You see a lot more crosswalks.

35
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,599
This is directly in front of Richville
Elementary School and it it across from

36
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,120
Richville Elementary School, Glenfield
Drive and Upper Holland Road. Cross over

37
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,920
that, make it safe for kids. You have a
lot of kids coming out of Richville

38
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:29,280
Elementary School. They want to get home
to be able to walk over there. It be a

39
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,040
crosswalk. The nice thing, like with all
the other projects in town, this once

40
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,920
again will be a grant. the total cost
projected to be just over $300,000 and

41
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,640
um the portion of the township is about
17% about $51,000.

42
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,040
So just another way of trying to advance
public safety by putting more crosswalks

43
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,319
and sidewalks in town.
>> And finally among consent items is

44
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,959
consideration for the appointment of
Mario Santilly to building code board of

45
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,120
appeals. Supervisor Lombardo,
>> thank you. Um we had a recent

46
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:05,680
resignation on the building court of
approval appeals and uh we we had one uh

47
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:10,799
interested applicant uh Mario Santilli.
Um Mario seems to be well well

48
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,640
qualified. Uh he has 34 years of
experience in residential and commercial

49
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,840
construction. Uh he's developed and
overseen several projects from land

50
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,759
development to construction. So and he's
been a resident here for 24 years.

51
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,639
» Right. All right. Do I hear a motion to
approve the six consent items?

52
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,960
» So moved.
>> We hear a second.

53
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,479
» Second.
>> Any comment on any of the consent items?

54
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,080
» It's good. It's good. We have somebody.
>> Those in favor saying I. I.

55
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,960
» Those opposed? Nay.
>> Motion carries.

56
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,240
» Uh, next we have public hearing to
consider ordinance establishing

57
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,000
restoration requirements for public
utilities performing work in the

58
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:55,120
township right of way. I'll open the
hearing and defer to Supervisor Rose.

59
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,280
» Yes. The Township Administration
recommends an ordinance amendment to

60
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,919
establish road restoration
responsibilities for public utilities

61
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:09,280
performing work in the township's right
of way. The township currently issues

62
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,560
road opening permits to public utilities
including Pico, Verizon, Comcast, and

63
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,520
the municipal authority when these
agencies need to repair or replace the

64
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:24,479
infrastructure in township owned rights
of way. The work typically requires

65
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:30,320
disturbing the asphalt surface of
township roads or the grass areas behind

66
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:35,600
curbs, even when the utilities use
directional boring as the primary method

67
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:41,600
of construction. Due to a lack of
coordination, particularly from Pico,

68
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:46,800
road opening permit applications are
sometimes filed with a short time after

69
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:52,400
the township paves a road. For example,
Pico recently filed a permit application

70
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:58,080
to trench ac trench across Middle
Holland Road, which was resurfaced last

71
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:03,280
year. In this instance, the township is
requiring Pico to resurface the

72
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:11,600
disturbed area from curb to curb and
longitudinally loit longitudinally

73
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,759
across an entire intersection.
The ordinance will require that roads

74
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:21,440
paved within five years of the
application for a road opening permit be

75
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:26,400
repaved the entire length and width of
the roadway and gives the township the

76
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:32,080
authority to be al to ultimately
determine the area to be resurfaced. It

77
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:37,039
also establishes criteria for the
restoration for roads where the asphalt

78
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,720
is greater than 5 years old. With that,
may I make a motion,

79
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:45,600
» please? I move for the approval of an
ordinance amending the code of

80
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:51,840
ordinances at chapter 21 streets and
sidewalks part one openings and ex

81
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,000
excavations to establish restoration
responsibility

82
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,919
for public utilities performing work in
the township's right of way.

83
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:03,840
» I'll second that.
>> Okay. Any comment?

84
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:09,919
» Um I think this is well needed. We could
see even on New Town Richboro Road where

85
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:15,520
uh they went in and our road was looking
beautiful and now we have like a stripe

86
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:20,319
down the center of it which is annoying.
So I'm really glad we're putting this in

87
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:21,280
and thanks to the administration for
doing it.

88
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,800
» Yes.
>> Yeah.

89
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,800
» I I agree Harley makes sense to do it.
>> No, I think it's smart. I think it's a

90
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:33,520
good idea.
>> Very responsible. I you I was happy to

91
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:38,880
hear this motion come up. I mirror my
colleague's comments and as this is a

92
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:45,120
public hearing, is there any comment
from the public?

93
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Seeing none, those in favor saying I. I.
>> Those opposed, nay.

94
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,520
» Motion carries.
>> We have no unfinished business this

95
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:56,080
evening, we'll move on to new business.
First, consideration of a preliminary

96
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,759
and final plan of subdivision and land
development for 92 Steam Whistle Drive.

97
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,560
Supervisor Moore.
>> Sure. Thank you. So I assume it's the

98
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,160
applicant.
>> Yes.

99
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:07,280
» Uh could you please uh introduce
yourselves and um

100
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,479
» good evening. My name is Chelsea
Jackman. I'm an attorney with Begley

101
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,160
Carlin and Mandio. To my right is the
project engineer. This is John

102
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,919
Richardson from Dumac Engineering. And
seated behind us in the royal blue is

103
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,280
Dustin for he's the project manager of
the applicant which is 92 Steam Whistle

104
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:24,720
LLC.
>> Okay, good. Can we bring it? It's up on

105
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:28,960
the chart there. So basically this is in
the uh in the industrial park in

106
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,760
Northampton Township. It's an existing
structure of 17,968

107
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:38,719
square feet and they'll be adding
additional 7,000 square feet to

108
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:41,440
supplement the building. Um, it's a
2acre site. So, it went through the

109
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,320
process going through, you know,
planning and all the approvals from

110
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,120
engineering. So, it's pretty
straightforward, but maybe if you could

111
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,440
just give us a brief overview of the
project and the need for the additional

112
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:54,080
space.
>> Sure. So, uh, as you stated, it's a two,

113
00:08:51,519 --> 00:09:00,000
uh, acre parcel along the south south
side of Steam Whistle Drive. Uh this

114
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:04,560
particular uh business is a uh USbased
manufacturer that sources materials and

115
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:10,080
produces its products domestically. Uh
and it uh focuses on uh precision

116
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,880
machining, engineering, fabrication
services primarily supplying hydraulic

117
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:19,040
tools, parts, equipment solutions uh for
the power and utility utility line

118
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:24,320
industries. So, this is essentially uh
an expansion uh required because they

119
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:28,000
need more storage uh and a little bit of
an expansion of parking. They're not

120
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,959
looking to have any more uh or any new
employees. They uh currently have 56

121
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,760
employees over just is it three
buildings? Six buildings

122
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:39,760
» over three buildings
>> over over three buildings in that

123
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:42,560
particular area. So, again, as you
stated, it is pretty straightforward.

124
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:47,200
They're not looking to do much more with
the operation, but to have just some u

125
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,720
more raw storage uh space for the
company to continue to expand by way of

126
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,720
product.
>> Good. Okay. Well, I'd like to do if I

127
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,760
could just read a motion to um proceed
with this,

128
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,480
» please.
>> Sure. So, I'll just read a motion

129
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:03,680
listing some of the conditions that
we're requesting. So, I move for the

130
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:09,600
preliminary final approval of 92 Steam
Whistle Drive Land Development SLD25-4

131
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,360
subject to compliance with the township
engineers review letter dated March 26,

132
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:19,279
2026. Is also recommended the requested
waiverss be granted uh and approval

133
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,720
subject to the following uh
restrictions. I'll I'll read here. The

134
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:25,839
applicant shall enter into a land
development agreement and escort

135
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:30,160
agreement in a form acceptable to
township solicitor and engineer. Uh this

136
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,720
shall include a storm water management,
maintenance and operations agreement.

137
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,000
That's the first condition. Uh second
condition would be a park and

138
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,399
recreational impact fee in the amount of
$13,845

139
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,880
is required. The fee shall be payable
per the terms of the land development

140
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:51,360
agreement. That's second condition. Uh
third one is that um typically we have a

141
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:55,680
requirement for sidewalks but we're
proposing a fee in L of sidewalks. Uh so

142
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:00,720
a fee in Louis sidewalks required in the
amount of 16,940 as calculated by the

143
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,399
township engineer. This fee shall be
payable for the terms of land

144
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,160
development agreement. And the last note
is the applicant is responsible

145
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:13,680
obtaining any outside approvals that may
be necessary including but not limit to

146
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:17,040
D, the conservation district, PENDOT and
the municipal authority. Further

147
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:21,120
approval is granted for submission of
any documents that may be required as

148
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:25,519
part of the sewage facilities planning.
>> The applicants agree to all those

149
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:29,839
conditions. Good. Good. So, I would um
very much recommend this proposal. Uh I

150
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:31,760
need a second on it.
>> I hear a second.

151
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,160
» I'll second that. Yeah.
>> Okay. Any comment?

152
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,320
» Yeah. No, I just very much recommended
there been an existing um you know,

153
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,240
resident, if you will, or member of our
community and I we strongly support, you

154
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,760
know, businesses like this and and
they're it's nice to see that they're

155
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:50,000
expanding their business operations and
uh so I highly recommend it.

156
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,760
» Every business needs storage. That's for
sure.

157
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:56,640
» It's a struggle about it. Any
comment?

158
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,320
» I totally agree with Barry. I think it's
a great idea.

159
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:02,720
» Any other comment?
>> Good to see a growing business.

160
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,480
» Like it. Supervisor Gasper, anything
further?

161
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:08,000
» No. No. Thank you.
>> Okay. No. Uh I think it's great. I'm

162
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,240
very familiar with the area and wish you
the best of luck. So with that, all

163
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,399
those in favor saying I. I.
>> Those opposed, nay.

164
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600
» Motion carries.
>> Thank you very much.

165
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,000
» Good luck.
>> Appreciate it.

166
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Next we have consideration of
preliminary final plan of subdivision

167
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:34,600
and land development for 400 Twining
Ford Road. Supervisor Moore.

168
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,600
» Sure. Thank you. Okay.

169
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:42,320
» Let me see. Are are you solicitor?
>> I'm again the attorney for this

170
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:46,000
afternoon. Busy tonight. Um uh Mr. Young
has his plans uh on a board if that's

171
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,440
okay that he takes just a quick moment
to put them up.

172
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:54,720
» Oh, they're right right there. Okay. So,
>> do you want to pass this for a moment?

173
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:58,399
» Well, so I think we have it up on, you
know. So, if I if I could ask you um

174
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,279
once again for the record, I just need
to have the attorney uh please state

175
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:02,880
your name and then sir, if you could
please state your name, too, that'd be

176
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,720
good.
>> Sure.

177
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,800
» Looking for my laser pointer again.
Chelsea Jackman from Begley Carlin and

178
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:14,320
Bandio on behalf of the applicant uh
which is DC Investment Groups LLC. Larry

179
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,240
Young uh and project engineer to my
right.

180
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:22,320
» Okay, very good. So, this is a property
on 20 Ford Road right in downtown

181
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:27,040
Richboro. It's basically um a 4.89
parcel of land that is near the golf

182
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:32,000
course, Northampton Valley Country Club.
Uh the proposal is it's zoned R2 and

183
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,600
they're proposing to make it um six
single family houses added to it. You

184
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,920
can see the plan there. And then the um
back of the houses will actually back up

185
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:45,600
to the golf course. And you know, the
the plan went through um land

186
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,040
development. then it went to um planning
everything else and was approved. So

187
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,839
maybe you could just give us a brief
overview of the project.

188
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,040
» Sure. Thank you Mr. Mur. So uh
everything you just said is accurate. Uh

189
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,880
there are a number of familiar faces
here who were present at the planning

190
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,800
commission uh who voiced some uh
concerns and some uh asked a lot of

191
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:07,680
questions at the planning commission
where we received unanim unanimous

192
00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:11,680
recommendation for approval. Uh two uh
in the back of the room here in the

193
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:17,360
black shirt is Troy Brennan and Chris
Levens who uh are the applicants. their

194
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,959
businesses uh and uh recently reached
out we reached out to the neighbors just

195
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:25,519
to again touch base. We understand that
a big component of this project is going

196
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:29,279
to be the tree replantation plan. There
are going to be a number of trees

197
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:32,959
cleared. Uh but we have uh had many
conversations with the township and

198
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,639
continue to do so that we will comply
and comport with all that's required as

199
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,480
part of that tree replantation plan and
we know that that's going to be fed by

200
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:44,560
uh some of the conversations that we
have for forthcoming with the neighbors.

201
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:48,639
um and whether that's by way of a fence
and trees and uh sort of where they go

202
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,760
that that's sort of yet to be
determined, but the applicants

203
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,560
understand uh that they're going to have
to comply with what it is that the

204
00:14:53,040 --> 00:15:01,680
township uh dictates uh on that end. Um
other than that, um perhaps Larry could

205
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:06,000
give a little bit more the detail on
storm water management uh in that area.

206
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:11,680
Um but otherwise you basically stated it
it's six lots uh with one open lot for a

207
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:15,519
storm water uh basin uh with the coldest
sack. I think we called it a P a P loop.

208
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:17,440
» Um
>> Okay.

209
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,399
» Yeah. So that's just about it.
>> Yeah. So from a storm water management

210
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,760
standpoint, I think everything's been
organized and in place everything else.

211
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,639
I know the trees are very important,
especially to the residents here. We

212
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:30,240
want to make sure I went to the site
today and checked it out. And I know a

213
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,440
lot there's a lot of trees in the
property, but I'm, you know, we're going

214
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:37,360
to stay very working very closely with
the applicant to make sure that the

215
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,399
trees are replaced in a fashion pleasing
to the neighborhood and consistent with

216
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:46,240
the application.
>> Yes. And also I by way of maintenance

217
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:52,000
and sort of what that property the type
of uh neighborhood they're looking an

218
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:56,959
HOA will be formed uh which uh that
component will be certainly a part of it

219
00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,639
uh in terms of maintaining what looks
really nice in the township.

220
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,600
» And just to add to to her point um the
road will also not be dedicated to the

221
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,839
township. So that would be part of the
HOA as well.

222
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,639
» Yes. Okay. Do do we want to think about
that not having dedicated I mean that's

223
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,519
always been an issue in the past. Um
some sometimes it's more advantageous

224
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,880
having it dedicated.
>> Uh so it's more less issues with snow

225
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:20,160
removal, things like that.
>> And and applicants are open to the

226
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,040
recommendations of the township and and
working with the township on that. Um

227
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,079
» certainly a board decision.
>> Yeah. I mean I would recommend to this

228
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,000
board. We've had other issues where we
have developments been built and the

229
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,839
road was not dedicated and there's
issues with snow removal, things like

230
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:37,680
that. And so
>> and if I if I may just uh on that note,

231
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:43,600
Mr. Young just brought to my attention.
Go ahead if you if that's okay. above

232
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:47,279
here there's an existing transpe
access easement. The trans pipe is back

233
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,519
here.
>> Oh, for the

234
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:59,040
» they need access. So, we've been talking
to Williams Pipe, which is Transco. Um,

235
00:16:56,079 --> 00:17:05,520
they are in favor of us abolishing this
easement up to this point and using the

236
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:13,199
private well the private road that we're
calling it as an access. And then in the

237
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:18,000
culdeac there will be a the press curve
that they get back to their their

238
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:20,720
equipment back here.
>> Okay.

239
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:24,160
» So a new easement agreement will be
created for that.

240
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:27,600
» Yeah. There we're waiting until this is
approved and Williams will draft the

241
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,440
agreements
>> hopefully approved

242
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,039
» and and the design of the roads will
meet the requirement of being dedicated

243
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,799
and having a township take dedication of
it. It is a it does meet the current

244
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,360
standards for a township road.
>> Yeah. I mean, I would just recommend to

245
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,160
my fellow board members that we be
consistent with that because there's a

246
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,480
lot of developments that were built in
town. Um the Waverly subdivision, for

247
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:52,880
example, on East Holland Road, that's 15
houses and the residents didn't realize

248
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:55,600
that it was not dedicated and now
they're all complaining about snow

249
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,280
removal and things like that. So, I
think it's a much better result for the

250
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:03,280
residents be honest having a township
have take responsibility.

251
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:06,720
» Candly, Mr. more we are also I'm uh also
one of the attorneys for that particular

252
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,400
developer. So I'm very familiar with
what you're talking about and that I I

253
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,039
have I take no issue with that and I
don't think that our developers do

254
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,880
either.
>> Okay. All right. If I could go ahead

255
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:20,080
just review the motion,
>> please.

256
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:28,000
» Okay. I move for preliminary final sub
uh subdivision land development approval

257
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:31,520
of the 420 Ford Road subdivision SLD25-1

00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:42,080

00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:51,440

of the sewage facilities um planning

280
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:14,480
» Do I hear a second?
>> I'll second it. Before we go to comment,

281
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:18,320
I realize that sometimes residents don't
understand that on agenda items they're

282
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,360
to sign up and if they wish to speak, I
prefer they do that, but in an abundance

283
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,120
of caution because I always want the
public to be heard from. Is anyone here

284
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,440
now realizing this is an agenda item
here to speak or be heard on this

285
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:34,320
motion?
I see no response. Supervisor Moore, do

286
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,440
you have any comments?
>> No, I think I you know, like I said, I

287
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:41,360
went by the site today. another the the
neighborhood very well and um no I think

288
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,960
it's a nice addition and I think working
with the township it's going to be very

289
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:49,440
well beyond that so I would support it.
>> Thank you Mr. May I just state one more

290
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:53,919
thing Mr. the uh we have a are in
agreement with all of the conditions. Uh

291
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,799
we are in fact putting a sidewalk in on
one side of the street. We understand

292
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,600
the fee and loo is calculated I believe
for the other side but I just wanted to

293
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,720
make the record very clear that there
there will be sidewalk on the one side

294
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080
of the culde-sac.
>> Okay. Clarify.

295
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,280
» Yeah.
>> Okay. Very good.

296
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,880
» Super rose. Anything?
>> I'm fine with it.

297
00:21:09,679 --> 00:21:14,960
» No. Sounds good to me.
>> I think it'll be a good addition.

298
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,720
There's seven lots, right? Or one is for
the basin.

299
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,039
» Six lots. built six building lots and
one for the

300
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320
» bases. It's just under five acres of
land.

301
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,520
» That'll be a good addition.
>> Yeah. And the building six. Yeah.

302
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,880
» Thank you. Thank you.
>> I I tend to agree. So, all those in

303
00:21:27,679 --> 00:21:31,120
favor saying I.
>> I.

304
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:36,120
» Those opposed, nay.
>> Motion carries. Best of luck.

305
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,120
» Okay. Thank you.

306
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:47,280
Next, consideration of revised waiver
request for Russell Gardens land

307
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,799
development plan permitting 10 ft
driveway with Supervisor Moore.

308
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:54,000
» Sure. This is a very minor issue. The
land development plan for Russell

309
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:59,200
Gardens was approved at the last board
meeting. There is a minor modification

310
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:03,760
made where the the houses will be facing
um the street and the garages will be

311
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,799
facing the side. So as opposed to
looking at the garage be that the garage

312
00:22:05,679 --> 00:22:10,960
entrance will be on the side of the
house. So as a result of that we want to

313
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:17,120
uh change the requirement for the width
of the driveway from 12 ft to 10 ft.

314
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:24,039
» Do I have a motion for that?
>> Please. I move for an amendment waiver

315
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,039
request from section 22-6612.1C

316
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:32,080
of the Northampton Township subdivision
land development ordinance for the

317
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Russell Gardens subdivision SLD25-2
to submit a driveway width of 10 ft. All

318
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,600
other previous conditions of approval
shall uh remain. Do

319
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,080
» I hear a second?
>> I'll second that.

320
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,480
» Okay. Any comment?
>> No. I mean it's going to be nice because

321
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,559
actually you' be looking at the front of
the house without a garage.

322
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,720
» I'm excited. I think it'd be good.
>> Any comment?

323
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:54,000
» No, I think it'll be a nice suggestion.
>> No, it sounds like it makes sense to me.

324
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,880
It's It's a good addition, a good
change.

325
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,600
» It's still safe and as everyone says,
it's always more attractive. So, those

326
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:04,559
in favor saying I.
>> I. Those opposed, nay.

327
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:08,720
» Motion carries.
Next, consideration of bids for

328
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:11,840
installation of emergency generator at
the administration building. Supervisor

329
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:18,720
Gasper.
>> Okay. Uh, the township needs a new

330
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:25,120
emergency generator. Ours is old and not
right in the building location. Um, the

331
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:33,000
township received 11 bids for this
project to put the generator in, ranging

332
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:33,000
from a low bid of 241,343

333
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,840
to a very high bid at 394,500.

334
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:47,679
Okay. The um
the new generator will be located right

335
00:23:45,919 --> 00:23:57,240
and right here at the administration
building. The three bids that we got

336
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:57,240
were Lana Electric uh for 241,343

337
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:09,600
uh Zen Zenac Electric
which would be 259,000

338
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:12,600
and AJM electric incorporated that is
261,832.

339
00:24:13,679 --> 00:24:24,960
uh Bowman, our township engineer, is
working uh with our electrical engineers

340
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:29,400
and we the bid amount that we decided
we're going to go with is 241,343

341
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:37,840
and all the ad the administrative
administration agrees with this and uh I

342
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,240
can I make a motion, Mr. Chairman,
>> please.

343
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:46,080
» Okay. The following motion is
appropriate. I move to award a contract

344
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:53,200
for installation of an emergency
generator at the township administration

345
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:56,919
building to Lmanana Electric at a bid
price of 241,343

346
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:05,440
based on the unit values in the bid
specifications and bid proposal and to

347
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:09,279
authorize the township manager to
execute all required contract documents

348
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,840
for this project.
>> Do I hear a second? I'll second it.

349
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:21,039
» Any comment?
>> Yeah, I think it's it's good. Um, our

350
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:27,360
engineers picked the lowest bid and it's
substantially lower than the other bids.

351
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:31,279
So, hopefully we'll get the job done.
>> Supervisor Lombardo, anything? No, I I

352
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,039
think it's needed and I think it's very
good because I know when we had an

353
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:39,679
outage, uh, this was one place we could
go to get some electrical power and so

354
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:45,679
it's it's, you know, it's a real service
to the community. So,

355
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:51,120
» any comment? Uh, I I think this is
excellent and it's very forward thinking

356
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,240
of our administration trying to get um
I've been through some of the

357
00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:01,200
emergencies here in the township where
we've lost electricity and we've needed

358
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:04,640
heating centers and cooling centers and
this is just

359
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,960
taking care of the future of our
township.

360
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:12,159
» So, I think this is great.
>> I agree, Joe.

361
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:18,159
It's a necessary item and you don't
think about your generator until you do.

362
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:21,279
And so I'm in favor as well. So those in
favor saying I. I.

363
00:26:19,919 --> 00:26:25,600
» Those opposed, nay.
>> Motion carries.

364
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:30,880
» Uh, finally, among new business, we have
consideration of bids for 2026 road

365
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:35,840
milling program. Supervisor Rose.
>> Yes. The township received eight bids

366
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:42,760
for the 2026 roadway milling program
with bid amounts ranging ranging from

367
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,760
217,24200

368
00:26:44,159 --> 00:26:50,360
242.50
to $314,319.

369
00:26:51,520 --> 00:27:00,400
Unlike the prior year uh when the
application was a tack coat was included

370
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:07,440
as an al alternate bid item, the 2026
bid speculations incorporate the top

371
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:11,440
coat into the base bid, ensuring its
inclusion as part of the milling work.

372
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:16,320
The approach is consistent with the
township's current needs and facilitates

373
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:22,799
a more straightforward comparison of
bids. Um, based on this evaluation,

374
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:30,440
Bowman recommends award of the contract
to AH Cornell and Sun Jamison, PA in the

375
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:30,440
amount of $217,242.50.

376
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:38,960
The final contract amount will be based
on the actual quantities of work

377
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:44,559
performed in accordance with the unit
price submitted in the bid. Um, and our

378
00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:48,240
administration concurs with this
recommendation. With that, I'd like to

379
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,799
make a A motion,
>> please.

380
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:57,279
» I move to award the contract for the
2026 roadway milling program to ah

381
00:27:54,159 --> 00:28:00,840
Cornell and Sun Jamison, PA in the total
amount of $217,242.50

382
00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:10,480
based on estimated quantities and unit
prices as set forth in the bid and as

383
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:15,360
determined by the township engineer and
to authorize the township manager to

384
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,720
execute all documents necessary for this
project. Do I hear a second? I'll second

385
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
it.
>> Any comment?

386
00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:25,200
» No, it's very good.
>> Supervisor Moore, any comment?

387
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:27,440
» No, it's all good. Makes sense.
>> Comment.

388
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,279
» No, it's good for me.
>> This is consistent with this board's and

389
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:35,520
its predecessor board's commitment to
making sure the roads are maintained.

390
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:40,320
So, all those in favor saying I.
>> I. Those opposed? Nay.

391
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:48,880
» Motion carries.
>> Liaison reports. Supervisor Rose.

>> All right. Thank you, Supervisor Gasper.

406
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:08,799
» Sure. Okay. Um, I'll talk about since

wife Karen Kelly uh come to we invited

served in during Trump's first

413
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:55,600

was a very special guy. So his uh

414
00:30:52,399 --> 00:31:02,960
unfortunately his wife spoke and she is
a gold star mother which means her son

415
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:10,320
was uh killed in action while he was in
the military. So, but it was a big

416

success and everyone um loved it even

430
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:39,840
» Thank you, Supervisor Lombardo.
>> Thank you. Um, I just want to add one

431
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:44,559
thing about the memorial event. Uh, I
attended it also and uh, it was a it was

432
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:50,720
a great event and I also want to thank
the the police and the fire. uh they did

433
00:32:47,919 --> 00:32:55,519
a a wonderful job uh protecting us and
keeping everything safe and keeping all

434
00:32:52,399 --> 00:33:00,480
the traffic moving. Um so both the uh
you know Chief LMP and Chief Adam

435
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:06,399
Seltzinger did a great job. Them and
their staff did a great job. Um so now

436
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:12,399
for the the fun part for me. U just so
you know today is National Senior Health

437
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:17,360
and Fitness Day. Um, so that's, you
know, u, sorry I'm a senior, so I I

438
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:22,000
recognize the senior day, but that gets
me into the senior center. The senior

439
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:25,360
center is starting the, uh, Bucks County
senior games, which are coming to the

440
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:29,200
senior center. They're going to have
tour they're going to have competition

441
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,720
for Botchi and the pool hall and the
pool table. So, uh, that's going to

442
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:37,519
happen on the 3rd and the 5th. I think
Botchi is on the third and the pool will

443
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:41,760
be on the fifth and uh hopefully
somebody will be able to come and

444
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:45,200
participate. Um or at least you can come
and cheer them on. I know I'm going to

445
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,960
go there and and watch the pool the pool
stuff and the botchi being that I'm

446
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:54,399
Italian. So I I would like to see that
also. Um they also have a Spanish class.

447
00:33:52,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Uh one of the people that worked there,
Lynn, uh is a was a Spanish teacher for

448
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:04,399
years at uh at at a girl school near um
out near Holy Ghost. uh and she is

449
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:09,839
teaching Spanish classes. It's excellent
class. It's been getting a lot of people

450
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:16,639
coming to to learn Spanish. Um so I I
think it's a great thing. Um also uh

451
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,200
this Friday we are going to have our
membership drive. I call it a drive. It

452
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:24,480
says membership information. So, there's
going to be a meeting I think at 9

yard sale last week, last Saturday. Had
a yard sale. 67 households participated.

471
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,400
It was a great event. You could go get
anything you want. And the nice thing

472
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:54,000
about it is you could target. If you
were looking for bikes, you could target

473
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:57,680
bikes. If you were looking for something
for your house, you could target that.

474
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:02,240
So, you didn't have to go to All 67. You
could find it one you like and go get

475
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:04,880
it. Um, it it was a great event. It
we've done it since I think this is our

476
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:09,599
second year that we've done this. It it
it worked out really good. One of our

of it. I'm going to try to get my

00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,960

for that part so I can go right from the

498
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:52,720
know anybody who wants to join it,
please come and do that. That was also a

499
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:57,119
great event. So, um, that's I think
about it. And once again, thanks to the,

500
00:37:54,720 --> 00:38:00,640
uh, police and the fire company and
their staff for what they did at the at

501
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,160
the memorial day event. It was really
really a great event. So, thank you.

502
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:08,079
» Thank you.
>> Thank you, Supervisor Moore.

503
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:13,040
» Sure. Thanks, Jo. Uh, only a couple
things. We have the um zoning hearing

504
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,720
board scheduled for June 8th and we have
the um planning commission. It's going

505
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,640
to be in June 9th. A lot of things are
happening in town with the developments,

506
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:23,839
whether it be Bucks County Roses or the
um Russell Gardens now, things like

507
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:27,839
that. So, everything's moving along very
well. That's all I have.

508
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,040
» Thank you. No leaison reports for me.
I'll just note that uh unfortunately I

509
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:34,560
was out of town this weekend and unable
for the first time in a number of years

510
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:39,359
to attend the Memorial Day services. I'm
pleased to hear they went well as they

511
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,480
always do and it stuns me year in year
out how there seem to be a lot of

512
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,640
citizens who don't understand what the
true purpose of Memorial Day is. There

513
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:50,480
are a lot of men and women who lost
their lives in service of this country

514
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:53,680
to protect the freedoms we all take for
granted. They deserve more than a day,

515
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:56,400
but at a minimum they should be
remembered on that day. It's not just

516
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:02,160
for cookouts. It's to remember those
whose lives were lost. Let's never

517
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:05,200
forget. That's all I have. Moving on to
the manager's report.

518
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:09,280
» I have no report this evening.
>> Assistant manager report.

519
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:13,359
» Uh good evening. Uh first I'd like to uh
make an announcement. Our uh video booth

520
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:19,680
has indicated the YouTube is not
streaming tonight. That will be up uh

521

524
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:36,640
» It'll still it'll still get to play time

525
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:40,880
like to point out. Um, Pico has alerted
the township that of another upcoming

526
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:45,839

00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:51,040

unveil these uh historical markers that
were in place that Dr. Rose referenced

542
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:16,079
earlier. That completes my report.
>> Thank you. The solicitor's report.

543
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:20,240
» Thank you. The minutes of the meeting
should reflect that the board of

544
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:24,240
supervisors met in a brief executive
session immediately prior to this

545
00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:27,839
evening's meeting. Uh present for the
executive session were the five members

546
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:33,359
of the board of supervisors, the
township manager, the assistant township

547
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:37,520
manager, and me. Uh a single matter of
potential litigation was discussed. No

548
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:41,920
official action was taken during the
executive session and no official action

549
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:45,200
was required this evening at this
meeting as a result of that executive

550
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:48,800
session. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Engineers report.

551
00:41:47,359 --> 00:41:53,520
» Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have no
report tonight.

552
00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:57,760
» Thank you. Moving on to
>> Would you like to

553
00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:02,240
speak for you? I should never have done
that, but it turns out I was correct in

554
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:06,599
that assumption. Uh public comments for
non-aggenda items or any items.

555
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,839
Thank you.
All right, Miss Henan.

556
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,640
» And if you could for the record, please
speak into the microphone, just state

557
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:23,440
your full name and indicate if you are a
township resident, which I know you are.

558
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:26,800
» Bernardet Henan, a butternut court, Ivy
Land, PA. I have been a resident over 35

559
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:30,480
years.
>> Thank you. So, I am vetted and

560
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:32,400
» Oh, we know you are, but the record
still has to be the record. So, thank

561
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,319
you.
>> Well, first and foremost, I'd like to

562
00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:40,240
say thank you to the individuals who
participated

563
00:42:37,839 --> 00:42:46,720
Veterans, not Veterans Day, Memorial Day
this past Monday. It was absolutely

564
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:53,760
incredible. Thank you so much, Paula.
Your family is absolutely beautiful. Um,

565
00:42:50,319 --> 00:42:58,240
Joe, thank you so much. And Mr. Salser,
thank you. your father attended.

566
00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:00,800
» My father represented me in some form or
fashion. That could be good or bad, but

567
00:42:59,599 --> 00:43:03,520
thank you for recognizing that.
>> All positive.

568
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:06,480
» I'm sure when it comes to veterans, it
would be.

569
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:12,960
» So, I just want to say thank you for
attending and taking that time. Um I'm

570
00:43:10,319 --> 00:43:17,040
here not as a member of the Veterans
Advisory Council. I'm here as an

571
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:23,119
independent
um individual in this community that

572
00:43:19,839 --> 00:43:28,480
works d daily with veterans um
specifically homeless veterans in the

573
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:33,520
Bucks County area and Philadelphia. But
I'm here this evening to request that

574
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:38,319
this board possibly reconsider your
denial of two flags placed at the

575
00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:45,839
entrance of the Robert H. Demowski
Veterans Park. While I'm not a part of

576
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:52,079
the VAC, I will tell you that there have
been two I believe one letter that was

577
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:59,760
sent to this board and I believe uh
Paula as the liaison came to the meeting

578
00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:07,040
and said that this committee unanimously
said no to two small flags. Um I'm here

579
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:12,000
this evening to ask for possible
reconsideration.

580
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:18,560
Um I know there I'm not sure what
exactly the issue is. Um that's my own

581
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:24,480
personal opinion. Um if there is an
issue regarding vetting of gold star

582
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:30,000
individuals
um I would really encourage you to reach

583
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:35,839
out re reach out to an individual by the
name of Rich Scott. So um that's

584
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:41,359
basically all why I'm here this evening.
But I think the very least this

585
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:52,319
committee should have received some kind
of formal letter stating why and what

586
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:59,599
the issue is. Um you know I came
we want to make all these reasons why we

587
00:44:54,960 --> 00:45:05,359
can't why can't we why can't we there
are 12 names over at that park. All

588
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:12,000
those individuals have been vetted,
purely vetted. So that's all I ask

589
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:18,800
tonight is consideration
and possible dialogue to see, you know,

590
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:26,000
when people say no, there's always that
wiggle room. There's always dialogue and

591
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:30,720
possibly we can come to a consensus. So
that's all I have to say. And in

592
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:37,359
closing,
I just want to say it takes a community.

593
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:44,160
Monday was absolutely incredible. We had
a gold star mother who came up from

594
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:49,839
Virginia who is a well-known speaker. Um
she was so touched. She was in tears

595
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:54,640
because of our police, our fire, our
EMT,

596
00:45:51,520 --> 00:46:01,839
um our community, our parks and wreck
liaison were incredible. It was perfect.

597
00:45:58,079 --> 00:46:08,400
It was picture perfect. And um I'd like
to thank Adam because he shared his

598
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:13,200
bell. So um the bell was
