The Secretary/Treasurer stated that to purchase certificates of Deposit a program application and investment advisory agreement needs to be completed and signed. Secretary/Treasurer is recommending purchasing 4 Certificates of Deposit, 2 at 180 days at an interest rate of 5.25% and 2 at 90 days with an interest rate of 5.17%. Each Certificate of Deposit would be in the amount of $96,000.00 and the funds would come from Capital Reserve and the Allison Mill Turnback accounts.

Vice Chairman Lee made a motion, seconded by Supervisor Myers to approve the Secretary/Treasurer to purchase 4 certificates of deposits in the amount of $96,000.00 coming from the Capital Reserve and Allison Mill Turnback accounts with an interest rate of 5.25% for 180 days and 5.17% for 90 days.

Riebling reported that Penn Dot cancelled their speed limit permit as a result of the turnback purchase of Allison Mill Road. The signs are still posted but the township is now responsible for maintaining them, along with adopting the appropriate ordinance Amendment to make it a municipal speed limit. We need to direct our Solicitor to prepare the ordinance and advertisement for adoption on December 18, 2006.

Chairman Miller made a motion, seconded by Supervisor Myers to approve directing the Solicitor to prepare the ordinance and advertisement for adoption of Allison Mill Road speed limit.

Riebling reported that a letter had been sent on September 27, 2006 asking Penn Dot to investigate the conflict of signage in segment 20 area of Blue Hill Road. The results were sent back in a letter dated November 9, 2006. Penn Dot looked at 3 different study areas; one was segment 20 with listed offsets, they were indicating that the change from the existing 40 mph posting is not justified. The next area they looked at was segment 40 mph which is just south of route 216. Penn Dot approved the area for reduction from 40 mph, to 35 mph. If we choose to go this way, the 35 mph would begin approximately 470 feet south of Fox Chase Dr. and end approximately 140 feet north of Harbor Court. Riebling stated the concern is that the speed limit will go from 35 mph to 40 mph to 35 mph to 40 mph up through Blue Hill Road.

Riebling recommended leaving the speed limit as is and stated we had the study and we found out that it qualifies. When the new development is complete we can request another study to have the speed limits changed.

The Board of Supervisors agreed to leave the speed limit as is on Blue Hill Road.

Road Master Smith requested approval for purchasing a new manifold for the grader. The purchase would be applied to 430.700 Highway Capital Purchase account.

Vice Chairman Lee made a motion, seconded by Supervisor Myers to approve the purchase of a new Manifold for the grader and the funds applied to account 430.700 Highway Capital Purchase.
