Allen Township Board of Supervisors Makes Plan for Green Phase 

The Allen Township Board of Supervisors met through Zoom on Tuesday, June 23 at 6 p.m. to conduct routine township business. 

 

The board voted to approve payment of a little over $22,000 for the township’s new salt shed; this was the fourth and final payment for the structural work on the shed. Payments may have to be made for minor electricity lines and other small changes in the future.

 

Next, the Board of Supervisors brought on Eric Miller, president of the Bath-Allen Youth Club. 

 

Miller discussed allowing the youth club to use the park and playground equipment once the township enters the green phase, on Friday, June 26. 

 

This motion was approved. Most board members were in support of the motion since it allows children to get outside and back to some semblance of normalcy; further, the youth club is optional, and parents do not have to sign their children up if they feel uncomfortable with the situation. 

 

However, the children participating in the youth club and their parents have to follow CDC guidelines. The youth club would also have to follow guidelines outlined by the state and waivers from the youth club. 

 

The Planning Commission will be allowed to hold their meeting on July 20 at 7 p.m., after not meeting since the Coronavirus outbreak hit Pennsylvania. 

 

Allen Township’s next Board of Supervisors meeting is on July 14 at 7 p.m. in the Fire Company Building on Howertown Road.  

 

These meetings and other meetings going forward will be held in the Allen Township Fire Company Building until further notice. Seating in the building will be spread out to comply with social distancing.
