Swatara Township Board Of Commissioners Regular Meeting Ii
The meeting commenced with an executive session to discuss potential litigation. Key discussions included a presentation by the Vice President of the Capital Area Greenbelt Association regarding future projects and a request for a township liaison. Visitors addressed topics such as emergency planning for Three Mile Island, the 2026 budget, the purchasing of 2029 fire equipment, and issues regarding a police officer incident. Agenda items approved included departmental and committee reports, educational incentive requests, the appointment of a Right-to-Know Officer, and a road closure request for a community day. Resolutions were passed concerning the disposition of records and reductions in financial security for several properties. Zoning map amendment applications were moved to the Planning Commission for review. The 2026 Budget ordinance was approved. Agreements were approved for Financial Services with PFM Financial Advisors LLC, and the extension of the Interim Manager Agreement, which prompted discussion on performance standards. The board voted to rescind a previous No Parking Request and approved a traffic study for the Municipal Complex. Approvals were also granted for the ordering of three Pierce Enforcer pieces of fire apparatus (a rescue pumper, a walk-in rescue, and an ascendant tower), and the purchase of rescue tools and miscellaneous equipment, partially offset by grants. Appointments were made to various boards and commissions including CAPCOG and the Dauphin County Tax Committee.
