Lehigh Township supervisors recognized several police officers for recent emergency responses.

Before the monthly meeting began, Supervisor Janet Sheats made a motion to amend the agenda to allow resident Bill Weaver to speak. The motion passed.

Weaver thanked township police for their assistance following a crash.

“I had a car accident on March 24th. Your police department, Chief Henry and Officer Elias Batihk went up and beyond,” Weaver told the board. “I was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and the officers took care of my family and made sure they got home.

“They went way past anything you can imagine. Thank you so very much.”

Police Chief John Henry responded simply, “Thank you!

Henry provided a police report for the month, which including 361 calls, 12 crashes, 16 traffic citations, one DUI, four cases sent to processing and one simple assault. Henry also recognized officers for an EMS response.

“I want to recognize officer Craig Ball and Officer Collin Haupt for providing rapid care for an EMS call on March 25th,” Henry said. “Officer Haupt applied a tourniquet on uncontrolled bleeding from an injury.

“I did a check on the patient and he is doing very well.”

Supervisors approved Sgt. Jon Roth to apply for a Police Traffic Safety grant, which Henry said would cover overtime enforcement for impaired driving, aggressive driving, occupant protection and pedestrian safety.

Township Engineer Mike Muffley said work is progressing on plans for a proposed data center.

“The planning for the data center is just about ready to be sent to the Northampton Planning Commission and for the board to review,” Muffley said.

He added that township officials are also exploring “different things for Timber Line Road” as part of potential road improvements.

In the recreation report, officials said pavilion improvements at Indian Trail Park are nearing completion.

“The Pavilions at Indian Trail Park look great,” officials reported, noting the lighting and soffit work is complete.

Upcoming events were also announced, including the township Christmas tree lighting scheduled for Dec. 5, beginning at 3 p.m., and the New Year’s Eve Noon Balloon Drop planned for Dec. 31.

Officials said the Danielsville tennis court will require significant repairs and “is not a quick fix.”

The township is also exploring new playground equipment for Indian Trail Park. Resident Katherine Mack suggested officials look into purchasing playground equipment from Moore School, which is expected to close.
