At the Feb. 19 Hanover Township, Lehigh County, Council meeting, council approved the Flock camera installation by a final unanimous vote.

Council initially agreed to a 90-day trial period of the cameras to ascertain their usefulness in improving public safety in the township. The 90 days concluded in February, and council voted to keep the cameras.

Council authorized to proceed with a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system replacement in the municipal building, paid from the township capital funds account. The replacement is not to exceed $400,000.

Council discussed the authorization for the township manager to pay township utility bills by credit card in advance to not pay a surcharge with a maximum of $10,000.
