Vol. 80, No. 24, June 18, 1980
Bridge and Gay Streets, Marietta,
to be reconstructed, resurfaced
Marietta Boro Council
awarded a contract to B.R.
" Kreider, Manheim, for the
street reconstruction and
resurfacing of Bridge and
Gay Streets at a cost of
$32,000. An alternate bid for
resurfacing Chestnut St.
was awarded to the same
contractor for $11,400. The
only other bid received was
from Lancaster Valite Sup-
ply Company at costs of
$42,958 and 17,305 for the
same projects.
Council voted to reim-
burse Sgt. Steven Englert
for hours accumulated since
March 17 thru June 2 for
overtime acquired by Eng-
lert, who worked instead of
an additional policeman.
The time amounted to
$1,362.45.
A policy was established
to limit part-time pay to
officers on Police duty to 10
hours each week. Organiza-
E. Donegal request plot plan
on Country Village Development
E. Donegal Township
Supervisors accepted the
Planning Commission’s re-
commendation to request a
plot plan after which a
public hearing will be
scheduled to furthur prog-
ress on the Country Village
Development. A representa-
tive of the developer, Penn
Crest, was present and
stated the plan should be
ready by the July meeting of
the Supervisors.
In other action Thursday
night, the supervisors voted
to have fences erected at the
tennis and hockey courts at
Rock Point Park.
The trustees of the E.
Donegal-Maytown Fire Co.,
via letter, requested the
supervisors convey the title
of the Ford fire truck to the
firemen in order for the
vehicle to compete for prizes
in parades. Furthur investi-
gation into the legality of
this action will be taken and,
for now, the request was
tabled.
Bill Martin, a representa-
tive of the Northwest
Advanced Life Support Unit
presented outlines of the
proposed organization’s
functions, county require-
ments for operating, - and
asked for a contribution to
be used toward matching
funds to purchase a vehicle.
If a vehicle is obtained
this would be the first
all-volunteer unit of 25
persons, of this type, in the
county. Requirements speci-
fy 2 paramedics must
accompany a local ambu-
lance run which must have
an EMT aboard. The group -
which is incorporated feels
they can provide advanced
life support cheaper than a
Lancaster Unit. The unit
would serve Northwestern
County communities to the
Lebanon Co. line. Super-
visors tabled any immediate
action and felt they would
accept the guidelines of the
local ambulance Board of
Directors.
It was reported the
current fund and member-
ship drive for the ambulance
fund totals $6,985 with 349
members. Profits from the
recent carnival and flea
market amounted to $887.
