Washington Township supervisors voted to advertise an ordinance joining the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors in a trust to cover workers' compensation.

Also advertised will be requests for bids for aggregate (stone), gas and diesel fuel, a bridge project and the road superpave program.It is estimated the bridge project will be about $150,000 for a new deck and beams on Old Mill Road bridge. There is still $80,000 in the liquid fuel fund, but the bridge has to be done even if some road projects have to be dropped.The old beams from the bridge will be dropped off at the municipal building so they can be sold for scrap.A thank-you letter was received from the Lehigh Gap Nature Center for the annual $2,000 donation and for keeping the entry road, Paint Mill, in good condition.Renee Edwards was appointed to the Slatington Library board. She was requested by fellow board members.Secretary JoAnn Ahner reported that following cleanup day, the township had to pay $20 to dispose of mattresses. Next year there will have to be a charge for that item. The township broke even on the electronics collected for recycling.
