It just didn't seem like a real West Marlborough Township meeting without longtime secretary/treasurer Shirley Walton, who is recovering from surgery, but the supervisors tried to carry on nonetheless on the evening of Sept. 4.
Supervisor Hugh Lofting reported that a contract has been signed for a project to replace a small bridge along lightly traveled Runnemede Road. Completion is expected by the end of the year.
Mr. Lofting also reported that the committee exploring ways to fund emergency services will be gathering data by talking to the fire and ambulance companies that provide service to township residents.
The supervisors also reviewed Chief Robert Clarke's statistics for the past two months. "Clarkie," the chief of the East Marlborough police department, works 12.5 hours a month in West Marlborough. In July there were 27 calls from West Marlborough residents to 911; three arrests (two for underage drinking, one for drugs). In August there were 28 calls to 911; one arrest for drugs; and six citations (three stop sign violations, two inspection violations, one driving without a license).
Four building permits were issued in August: a run-in shed for Joe Rothman on Apple Grove Road; a house for Juan Medina on Byrd Road; an addition for Jake Chalfin on Runnymede Road; and a fence for Ruth Truitt on Wilson Road.
