At the July 3 Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting, Chairman David Tashner, when asked by The Press for an update on Bath Borough’s request for possible police coverage provided by Moore Township Police Department, said, “Nothing - no contact or meetings.”

Secretary/Treasurer Richard Gable shook his head and agreed, “No contact.”

Earlier this year, Moore Township had offered to cover Bath Borough policing for about $273,000 a year for three years, with no price change during the three-year contract proposal. Bath’s policing cost from Colonial Regional Police Department was $413,000 a year, with costs expected to rise annually, according to Bath Borough Manager Brad Flynn.

Bath Borough Council has voted to end its services with CRPD and is now searching for replacement police coverage.

In other news, for the month of June, the police report included arrests for a DUI, a dog running at large, a criminal mischief, a simple assault and a marijuana arrest. Solicitor David Backenstoe, upon hearing the marijuana arrest, quipped the “ ... arrest was not a medical marijuana issue.”

The retort drew a humorous response. Last month, supervisors voted to install an ordinance regulating medical marijuana in the township.

The fire department for June reported 59 fire calls. The ambulance report included 60 June ambulance calls.

In other matters, the recreation committee presented a check to the township from the recreation center concession stand sales totaling $5,700.

A request was made for a portable stage for use at the recreation center and Community Days. The stage, planned to be mobile, will potentially be on wheels and measure 24 feet by 16 feet. The board voted 3-0 to accept the stage request.

Also at the meeting, the historical committee is planning another October festival with the date in October to be announced.

The land preservation committee report included an ambitious plan to include four additional farms for preservation. To date, it was reported 33 farms have been preserved in the township, totaling 2,000-plus acres.

Tashner, in his road department report, said work by the $900,000 French machine, rented by the township to pave shoulders of roads and the township parking lot, has been completed.

“Six miles of roads were done and the parking lot. This work was done at a fraction of the cost of paving,” Tashner said.

The next supervisors meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at the township building, 2491 Community Drive.
