Boy Scout Terry Hersch, from Scout Troop 29, presented his Eagle Scout project to Bethlehem Township Commissioners on May 5.

Hersch explained that his project is “a multi-faceted food drive for ALICE, which stands for Access Limited Income Constraint Employed. Which basically means that they work a full-time job but they do not make enough money to meet all their needs, which includes food. Hopefully this drive will help out a lot.”

He added “one of the ways that I’m collecting food for the drive is through donation bins, which I’ve already left-out outside municipal buildings in other townships, and also local businesses.”

Hersch asked the commissioners approval to have a collection bin in both the lobbies of the township’s municipal building, as well as the township’s community center. His contact information was requested for further discussion.

Two motions of note were approved.

The first permits the township manager to advertise for bids for a pedestrian crossing at Oakland and Hecktown Rd.

The second grant the township manager to advertise for a bid roof replacement for the municipal building, as well as two park pavilions.

The public hearing pertaining to Ordinance 4-23 determining to incur debt in the principal amount of $2,490,000 as a lease debt for a number of indebtedness was pulled from the agenda prior to the meeting.

The ordinance had been approved for advertising at the April 17 meeting by a vote 5-0.

The next meeting is scheduled for May 15 at 7 p.m.
