Township moves ahead
to explore new building
By GRACE R. DOVE
Post Staff
KINGSTON TOWNSHIP - The
supervisors moved one step closer
to making a final decision on con-
struction ofanew municipal build-
ing by appointing a special attor-
ney and engineering firm at their
regular February 14 meeting.
Attorney Steven Killian and
Michael J. Pasonick Engineering
were appointed to represent the
township when it applies for a
conditional use permit for the site
on East. Center Streetl in
Shavertown.
Located next to the Kingston
Township ambulance building
and opposite the township park,
the property is owned by the town-
ship and is zoned residential, ac-
cording to manager Jeff Box.
“Under our ordinance, public
buildings are allowed in any zone
with a conditional use permit,”
Box said after the meeting. “We
need an independent attorney and
engineering firm to represent us
to avoid a conflict of interest. We
must obey our own ordinances
and can't have our solicitor and
engineer reviewing their own
work.”
Attorney Ben R. Jones, III, is
the township solicitor, while
Borton and Lawson is the
township's regular engineering
firm.
The supervisors haven't made
a final decision on whether or not
to build a new township building,
although Box said the plan is “still
under serious consideration.” Ar-
chitects are continuing to revise
design plans and make sure the
site is acceptable for construc-
tion, he added.
In other business, the supervi-
sors unanimously voted to spend
approximately $7,000 to remove
debris accumulated in the creek
bed along Harris Hill Road at the
former Schooley Farm and below
Echo Valley Trailer Park. The de-
bris was deposited in the creek
during the January flood and is
interfering with drainage.
The supervisors accepted four
bids for a 1996 one-ton four-wheel
drive dump truck, to replace its
1990 GMC dump truck, and tabled
them for consideration. The ap-
parent low bidder was Sherwood
Chevrolet, at $34,188 without -a
trade-in or $22,288 with a tradle-
in. :
Other bidders were Fairway
Chevrolet, at $36,203.92 without
trade or $25,703.92 with trade;
Bradco Supply, at $36,860 with-
out trade and $24,500 with trade,
and Motors Fleet Management
from Red Bank, NJ, at $43,316
without trade and $34,316 with
trade-in.
The supervisors also authorized
Box to advertise for bids and pre-
pare for the annual spring
cleanup, tentatively planned for
May 6-11, and to advertise. for
bids to sell the 1992 Caprice po-
lice cruiser for a minimum .of
$2,000. :
