Bowmanstown continues to ponder how to spend its COVID relief funds.

Councilman Rob Moyer informed borough council on Tuesday that the borough has received $46,264 in COVID relief funds through the Department of Community & Economic Development.

Moyer suggested that council use that money for a generator for the water treatment.

However, council President William Ravert told Moyer he believes the inlets at the Bowmanstown Diner “is a much bigger concern.”

Moyer then recommended that council come up with a list of quotes for things it can actually do.

Councilwoman Kara Scott concurred.

“I agreed with what Rob is saying,” Scott said. “Why can’t we (come up with a list)?”

Moyer praised the office staff for a job well done.

“Kudos to our office staff,” Moyer said.

Essentially the COVID relief funds are being discussed for a variety of items, such as storm drain repairs, a generator for the water authority’s chlorine building, and/or something relating to the wastewater treatment plant.

No decisions have been made, as council has requested quotes for each at the August meeting.

Earlier in the meeting, council on a 6-1 vote, with Moyer opposed, agreed to request a letter of support for the borough water authority to apply for grant money to purchase a generator for the chlorine building through the Local Share Assessment Monroe Gaming Grant.

The cost of generator is roughly $30,000 to $55,000.
