PUBLIC WORKS
Mr. Salvesen
discussed the recommendation by the Public Works Committee in the City of
Bethlehem to raise sewer rates 30% and also to raise Hanover Township’s portion
by 25% for maintenance. They referenced an agreement called Agreement for
Sanitary Sewer Service dated May 12, 1965. Mr. Salvesen read Section 6 of that
agreement that pertains to the above.
Mr.
Salvesen moved that the Township Solicitor contact City Council and request
they repeal that 25% raise increase, pointing out Section 6 of this agreement
which reads “In consideration of the provisions by City of the capital
facilities necessary to conduct and treat said sewage, for the interest and
amortization of which customers of City have contributed since 1950, and in
consideration of the anticipated higher operating, maintenance, and replacement
costs of Township’s system herein undertaken by City, it is agreed that City
charges to Township customers for comparable service shall be on the same basis
but at a twenty-five per cent (25%) higher rate than applicable to City’s
sanitary sewer customers; provided, however, that when City’s original bond
issue of 1952 is retired, but not later than 1988, then the surcharge rate to
Township’s sanitary sewer customers shall be amended to reflect only the
excess, if any, of operating, maintenance, and replacement costs of Township’s
system over such costs of City’s system”; and if any refusal on the part of
City Council to repeal it, that we file an injunction.
Mr. Colon
seconded the motion.
Mr. Diacogiannis yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Nagle yes, Mr.
Salvesen yes, Mr. Walbert yes.

million dollars and that is in the proposal before us. The amount of total
premium goes from $19,151.00 to $24,957.00.

A
discussion was held on the city of Bethlehem Act 537 – Sewage Facilities.
Mr.
Birdsall stated that the City of Bethlehem has been working on an official
sewer plan for many years. The sewer plans of communities are regulated by Act
537, which basically says individual municipalities are responsible for
adequate sewer planning within their municipality.
The City is asking that the municipalities involved help
pay for the upgrade to the sewage facility plant. In reading the contract that
Hanover Township has with the City, Mr. Birdsall stated the City cannot do that
and shouldn’t.
Mr.
Birdsall recommended that the Board write a letter to the City indicating that
the Township looked at the 537 Plan and you do not believe the conclusions of financial
assess ability are properly prepared and ask that it be revised to reflect the
financial responsibility sharing that is outlined in your 1965 agreement.
Mr.
Salvesen moved that the Board write a letter to the City of Bethlehem, as
recommended by the Township Engineer, stating that the Township reviewed the
Act 537 Plan and do not believe the conclusions of financial responsibility are
properly prepared and ask that it be revised to reflect the financial
responsibility sharing that is outlined in the 1965 agreement.
Mr. Nagle
seconded the motion.
Mr.
Diacogiannis directed the Township Manager, Township Solicitor and Township
Engineer to prepare the letter to the City of Bethlehem.
Mr. Diacogiannis yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Nagle yes, Mr.
Salvesen yes, Mr. Walbert yes.
