Executive Summary:
Board of Review Update: The Board of Review was completed on March 12th with little drama. Two property values were revised out of 10 petitions submitted. Property owners had difficulty believing their properties had appreciated by 20% in one year, but the sales data supports this.
211 Main St. Lawsuit: The initial filing for this lawsuit was rejected by the court because it combined the claim of appeal and the complaint together. The court asked the attorneys to split the complaint into two separate filings and re-file. The township has not yet been served with the new claim of appeal and complaint.
Sidewalks: The engineer’s estimates indicate that breaking out a single section of the sidewalk project would add $12,000 to the cost, which does not seem cost-effective. The engineer suggested bidding the isolated part as an optional alternate with the other sections.
Zoning Fees: The zoning fees have not been updated since 2007. Accounting for 49.7% inflation since then, the supervisor proposes raising the fees by 50%.
MTA Conference: The supervisor will be attending the upcoming MTA Conference on April 22-25th and listening to a webinar on “Public Use of Township Property and Facilities” on April 10th.
