Look for a banner to possibly be displayed for a Salisbury Youth Association fundraiser.

The Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners voted unanimously 5-0 to approve the motion for a banner to promote the annual SYA car show 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 11 at Salisbury Middle School, 3301 Devonshire Road.

Leno Scarcia, SYA football program director, made the request for placement of the banner at the June 26 township commissioners' meeting.

Several locations for the banner were discussed, including South Pike Avenue, Emmaus Avenue and East Susquehanna Street.

"We would put it up ourselves. I know several people who have bucket trucks," Scarcia said. The commissioners and Salisbury Township Manager Randy Soriano made approval conditional upon SYA providing an insurance policy to cover potential liability associated with the banner and an agreement to hold harmless the township in the event of a mishap.

Scarcia said SYA already has a $1 million insurance policy for the event, which is required by Salisbury Township School District.

Soriano said he would write a letter to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation with a request for placement of the banner since the roads discussed for placement are under PennDOT jurisdiction.

Scarcia said he would contact representatives of Verizon and PPL about the possibility of the banner being hung between two poles on each side of the street.

Scarcia said the banner would be placed two or three weeks prior to the event and removed about one week after the event.

There were about 150 cars displayed at last year's event, Scarcia said, adding that he hopes there are 250 cars displayed this year.

Commissioner James Seagreaves suggested the SYA might be able to promote the event on the sign in front of Eastern Salisbury Fire Company, East Emmaus Avenue and Honeysuckle Road.

Commissioner President James A. Brown suggested the SYA augment the banner with roadside signs.

Scarcia said in addition to the display of antique, collectible, special interest, custom cars and hot rods, there would be live music by pop-rock bands, a deejay, a Chinese auction, and displays by the Salisbury Township Police Department, the township Police Department K-9 Patrol, Western Salisbury Fire Department and the City of Bethlehem Mounted Police.

In other business at the June 26 township meeting, commissioners voted 5-0 to approve:

- A resolution for a revision of the Official Sewage Facilities Plan for New Land Development by Barbara Litzenberger at 1524 E. Emmaus Ave. The Salisbury Township Planning Commissioner approved the plan, which would add one new unit requiring additional sewer capacity.

- A resolution to amend Resolution 03-2014-1466 Retirement Incentive for the Public Works Department. The purpose is to allow a public works department employee whose birthday is Dec. 30 to qualify for the incentive. "His performance is good. I don't see why we shouldn't give him the same chance," Soriano explained. Township commissioners at the March 13 meeting voted unanimously to approve a resolution opening the retirement incentive for public works employees.

- A resolution to accept the retirement, effective July 1, of township employee Richard Brosious, Jr., who has been employed for 32 years and two months. Public Works Department Director John Andreas said the township is advertising to fill the position. There are four summer public works employees.

- A motion for Payment Application No. 3, of $40,743.72, to Sewer Specialty Services Company, Inc., Leicester, N.Y., for the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Rehab Project. "There's still a little bit more work to do," Salisbury Township Consulting Engineer David J. Tettemer of Keystone Consulting Engineers, Inc. said. The rehab project is required to comply with a United States Environmental Protection Administration order.

Also, in other business at the June 26 township meeting:

- Soriano reported the township received $150,000 of a $346,750 Community Development Block Grant from Lehigh County for the South Potomac Street Water Line Replacement Project. About 3,500 feet of a 64-year-old cast iron pipe will be replaced with PVC pipe. The iron pipe is believed to have been installed in 1950. The pipe replacement project, from East Susquehanna Street to East Emmaus Avenue, was to begin in January 2015. Commissioners voted 4-0 at the April 10 township meeting to authorize Soriano to apply for the grant. Soriano said township officials will need to determine how to make up the funding difference for the project to proceed.

- Soriano reported a request for the PennDOT "Transportation Alternative Program" to fund 80 percent of the $300,000 to $400,000 cost of a 1.5-mile bike path along Lindberg Avenue from Lindberg Park to Green Acres Park was not approved by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. The project is part of the Lindberg Park Master Site Plan.

The township was to fund the remaining 20 percent in engineering costs. Township commissioners voted 5-0 at the March 27 meeting to approve a motion for Soriano to apply for the funding.
