At the April 1 Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting, the supervisors heard a presentation from a representative of Gilmore and Associates. Gilmore completed an evaluation and developed a comprehensive recreation and open space plan.

The recreation and open space plan has five goals. Goal one is to conserve agricultural and natural resources by using best management practices for conservation, public education and partnerships. Goal two is to enhance parks and recreation facilities as community destinations where residents can have fun, experience nature, socialize and exercise.

Providing a wide variety of recreation opportunities for all ages, abilities and interests in the community is goal three. Goal four is to provide operational excellence to meet current and future community needs. And finally, goal five is to foster a culture of open communication and collaboration between the township and township residents.

The plan cost is about $70,000, with most covered by grant funding. The plan is available for resident review by visiting mooretownship.org or calling the township office.

Gilmore and Associates is a Bucks County engineering and consulting firm with offices in five different locations, including the Lehigh Valley. Borough Manager Stephen Nowroski said the efforts to digitize the large number of the township’s paper files is moving forward. Nowroski recommended Reynolds Business Systems complete the digitizing. He said the cost would be around $2,200 per month and noted the amount was within the township budget.

The supervisors tabled resolution 2025-08 that addresses the towing providers serving the township. There was a long discussion about the possible change to a list of towing providers, rather than relying on only one tow truck provider. The supervisors are methodically considering all the issues involved with a change before they make their decision.

In the public works report, it was noted street sweeping is ongoing in the township. The department plans to hire two part-time summer workers to work at the park for 20-25 hours a week.

The recreation committee is planning a Playground in the Park summer camp program. More information is forthcoming.

In the Community Days committee report, it was noted the costs of holding the annual Community Days are increasing, which will require more fundraising efforts.

In the township police department report, Chief Gary West said there were 268 incidents the police department handled in March that resulted in two arrests — one for harassment and the other for simple assault. It was reported there were 51 fire calls during March. The March ambulance report was not ready for this meeting.
