Legal aspects of the procedure to vacate a street were discussed during the Feb. 23 commissioners’ meeting workshop. The streets in question were Paoli Street, Montgomery Street and Wayne Avenue.

The commissioners’ March 9 meeting will proceed after the public hearing concludes.

At the Feb. 23 meeting, commissioners voted 5-0 to approve:

•An ordinance clarifying Salisbury Township Police Department ranks. Commissioner Vice President Rodney Conn made the motion. seconded by Commissioner Alex Karol, to bring the ordinance to a vote.

•A resolution authorizing Salisbury Township Manager Cathy Bonaskiewich to execute settlement documents for the McAuliffe property purchase. Commissioner Alok Patnaik made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Heather Lipkin, to bring the resolution to a vote.

Bonaskiewich said a vote on the proposed Salisbury Township Police Department training facility could be on the agenda of the March 23 commissioners’ meeting.

Patnaik discussed a complaint he received from a resident concerning the parking of a camper on a residential property and a vehicle that allegedly hasn’t been moved for two months along a street.

Salisbury Township Police Chief Don Sabo reported 87 candidates have applied to the township police department. “Our push has apparently paid off. I don’t recall us ever receiving so many. We should be able to pick two candidates,” Sabo said.
