WEST MARLBOROUGH: The routine business of a rural township

Business was fairly routine at the West Marlborough Township supervisors' monthly meeting on Feb. 3.
Lieut. Bob Clarke, West Marlborough's part-time law enforcement officer, reported that in January he issued eight citations and eight speeding tickets and gave four warnings.
Township secretary-treasurer Shirley Walton said she had received from the township tax collector the list of residents who were delinquent in paying their property taxes. She said it was "mostly the same" people as had failed to pay in prior years.
Township engineer Al Giannantonio and building inspector Eddie Caudill reported that a zoning permit and a building permit were issued for a Lamborntown Road resident to install a generator.
Supervisor Hugh Lofting said the road crew salted 14 times in January: "We're going through quite a bit of salt, but nothing like last year," he said. Supervisor Bill Wylie thanked the crew for keeping the roads and the residents safe.
At the request of the township planning commission, the supervisors authorized Harry Roth, the township's planning consultant, to add new regulations for alternative energy systems to the township's updated zoning ordinance. (The planning commission and Mr. Roth met to finalize those recommendations at their February meeting, held just before the supervisors' meeting.) After Mr. Roth completes the draft, the public review process will begin.
