The first item on the Chestnuthill Supervisors’ July 6 meeting agenda was to pass a borrowing ordinance regarding township bonds.

The ordinance guarantees the refinancing would create no less than a 2% savings of $60,000, according to Chairman Carl Gould II.

“If we don’t get the 2% savings, it doesn’t pay to refinance the bonds,” said township Manager David Albright.

A resolution on public and private road names was passed. It is to correct any errors made when the roads were named during the 911 changes.

A motion for township office manager Cathy Martinelli to attend the 2021 PA Municipal Administrators conference in August was approved.

The supervisors received a letter from Chestnuthill resident L. Ernie Foucault commending the West End Fire Company and the Polk Township Fire company when responding to a serious motor vehicle accident in front of his home on Carney Road.

Foucault said the two fire companies interacted and coordinated as one unit, quickly mitigating very hazardous situations and extricated the trapped motorist from her vehicle in a matter of minutes.

“Residents of Chestnuthill and Polk have a reason to be proud of their fire and emergency service organizations,” he said.

Bernie Kozen, executive director of Chestnuthill Township’s Parks, had nothing but good news to report.

“Summer camp is underway at 26 campers, and everything is moving along,” he said.

There was a little bit of a hiccup with a power outage at the park, but the kids got were able to get in, and the bathrooms were open, he said.

“The first of other concerts was held June 25 and was very well-attended. The kids had a ball.

“Even the empanada lady sold out,” he said.

Kozen said 150 attended that night’s concert.

The second concert will take place July 25, and there will be two bands scheduled to play and a food truck or tent.

The StoryWalk has resumed and is very popular.

“We had 40 visitors at Chestnuthill and 31 visitors at the Regional Park,” he said.

Six plan reviews were tabled pending further information needed.

The next Chestnuthill Supervisors meeting is 7 p.m. July 20.
