The Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners amended a township ordinance to establish a handicapped parking space for a resident.

“In order to have enforcement of handicapped zones, you need to do this each time,” solicitor Jason A. Ulrich of Gross McGinley LLP said before the vote.

According to the ordinance amendment, Salisbury Township Chief of Police Donald Sabo received an application from a resident of 1668 Broadway requesting placement of a handicapped parking sign.

Sabo reviewed the request and recommended approval of a handicapped parking space on the east curbline of Ash Street, extending 41 feet south of the intersection of Ash Street and Broadway, according to the amendment.

Before the vote, Salisbury Township Director of Public Works Jim Levernier said he had reviewed the location.

“We’ll install a sign once approved,” Levernier said.

Commissioners accepted Sabo’s recommendation and approved the resident’s request for a handicapped parking space on Ash Street. The measure passed unanimously, 5-0. Commissioner Alok Patnaik made the motion, and Commissioner Allison Leayman seconded it.

In other business at the Oct. 22 meeting, commissioners voted 5-0 to approve:

• An ordinance regarding appointments to the township recreation board. The ordinance states the recreation board shall consist of five members appointed by the board of commissioners. Commissioner Alex Karol made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Heather Lipkin. The ordinance reduces the board from seven members to five.

• A motion accepting the recreation advisory committee’s recommendation to remove a member because of insufficient attendance. Karol made the motion, seconded by Lipkin.

“You are permitted to do this pursuant to the ordinance,” Ulrich said before the vote.

“There have been times that the meeting has been canceled for lack of a quorum,” Township Manager Cathy Gorman said.

• A resolution authorizing disposition of municipal property, including a 2008 Ford Taurus with 75,839 miles and a Crushcrete unit with a capacity of 5,000 tons. Leayman made the motion, seconded by Patnaik. The property may be sold through Municibid online government auctions, traded in for new vehicles through the Pennsylvania COSTARS program or sold by public bid or auction.

• A motion approving release of Certification No. 2 in the amount of $809,019.11 for the Vistas at South Mountain project. Patnaik made the motion, seconded by Leayman.

• A motion extending a lease agreement with Kriger Construction through Dec. 31. Karol made the motion, seconded by Lipkin.

In her report, Gorman said federal approval has been received for a $3 million Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant for the Laubach Park project.

The 7 p.m. Nov. 18 Salisbury Township Zoning Hearing Board meeting has been canceled.

The Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. Nov. 24 at the municipal building, 2900 S. Pike Ave., instead of Nov. 26 because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
