Weisenberg Township received two awards at the recent Lehigh Valley Planning Commission banquet.

The municipality received the Community of Distinction Award and also shared in the award given to Lowhill, Lynn, Weisenberg and Heidelberg townships for multi-municipal cooperation.

In other matters, Walter Snider of Edelweiss Road came before the Weisenberg supervisors at their October meeting to again voice his complaint about the actions of his neighbor.

He alleges the neighbor is operating a business without proper permits, operates his equipment sometimes at 6 a.m. and runs almost continually.

After much discussion, the board decided Solicitor Donald Lipson and Administrator Brian Carl would discuss the matter and see if anything could be done.

Supervisors appointed a new zoning hearing board alternate.

Richard Wooley, who is taking over the post held by Tom Narkin, will serve for a three-year term.

Narkin has been appointed to a permanent position on the board.

New PennDOT guidelines require when mowing along the roads, a following vehicle must be behind the mower for safety reasons.

Instead of this, the board opted to close roads when they are mowing.

This would be a less expensive alternative to a chaser vehicle.

Carl, with his fire company hat on, reported the Weisenberg Volunteer Fire Company has received 145 calls so far this year.

A generator will be purchased for the fire station for use in the eventuality of a power failure. This will replace an existing portable generator which will be moved to the maintenance building.

Treasurer Jeff Straus reported the township has received $28,252 as a reimbursement for the health care plan.

Also, the fire relief fund received $44,632.16 and the pension account received $31,300.67 from the state.

Salt bids were received and the winning bidder was Oceanport LLC at $75.10 per ton delivered and $70 per ton picked up at the site.

Roadmaster Tony Werley said this was a substantial increase over last year’s bid.

Weisenberg’s share will be for 500 tons at $37,550 delivered. This was a cooperative bid with six townships participating.

Carl, in his administrators report, told supervisors the audit for 2014 was completed.

A board meeting to discuss the 2016 budget is scheduled for 5 p.m. Nov. 2.
