During the Weisenberg Township June meeting Administrator Brian Carl stated as of June 4 Old 22 was no longer a Weisenberg Township road.

PennDOT now owns Old 22 and the township took ownership of Kecks, between Seipstown and Old 22. The township is satisfied with this swap, mainly because of all the detours that occur on Old 22.

Carl also explained a certain number of trees and plants were required by the state Department of Environmental Protection as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for construction of the park.

Carl asked for $3,600 to finish the required plantings.

Vice Chairman Anthony Werley made a motion for the plants to be purchased. Supervisor Richard Bleiler seconded the motion.

Supervisors also discussed agricultural security area requests. Most of the security area would be at Blacksmith, Nelson and Tannery roads.

The proposal is as follows: Nelson Road, 80.61 acres; 3417 Blacksmith Road, 8.68 acres; 3410 Blacksmith Road, 27.60 acres; 3399 Blacksmith Road, 6.86 acres; 3383 Blacksmith Road, 6.5 acres; 3371 Blacksmith Road, 3.60 acres; and 3402 Tannery Road, 27.37 acres.

The requests were accepted by the board.

During public comment, Jim Cleary who lives along Apple Road, Fogelsville, discussed road signage and speeding. The area Cleary and his neighbors are worried about is along Apple Road, between Mohr and Packhouse.

Cleary said there were accidents on that road and he is concerned about the number of children who live in this area.

He requested a three-way stop sign between the intersection of Apple Road and Red Haven.

Supervisors noted a speed study was done in 2014 on Mohr and Apple roads, and the intersections of Apple/Red Haven and Apple/Cliff Forest to see if stop signs were warranted.

Carl will research a speed check sign for the area and conduct another traffic study. The township will also look into some traffic calming options for the area.

Carl reported to the board the township fire department responded to 107 calls so far for the year.

He asked the board to purchase new road closed signs for the fire department as firefighters are using township signs and one was recently hit. Carl was asking for up to $1,700 for four folding signs.

They would get four folding signs and two of them would be road closed signs for $258 each. The other two would have removable Velcro sections to place additional messages such as detour, lane closed and arrows. Those would be $488 each.

The board approved the request.
