Ms. McIlvaine announced that she attended the Arc of Chester County Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on May 30, 2003 at which time West Goshen Township was the recipient of the President's
Award.
The Township was presented with a print titled "Darlington Cedar", West Chester, by artist John Suplee. She said the organization thanked West Goshen Township for their support and specifically recognized the efforts on their behalf of Mr. Raymond Halvorsen, Public Works Director, Ms. Lynn and Mr. Lehr. Ms. Lynn stated that the print is now on display in the second floor hallway of the Administration Building.
On motion by Dr. White, seconded by Ms. McIlvaine, the Board unanimously approved the bills to be paid from the General Fund, the Sewer Fund, the Capital Reserve Fund, and the Waste and
Recycling Fund.
Mr. Meakim announced the consideration of the possible approval of the signing of an agreement with K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. for the installation of a Hershey's Mill identification
sign. Mrs. Evelyn Baker, 900 Sheridan Drive, inquired as to the size of the sign and Dr. White replied that it is part of the wall at the southeast corner of Green Hill Road and Boot Road.
Ms. Lynn said that the wall would be six feet high and approximately sixty feet long with a 43 square foot oval sign located in the center. She added that the construction of the sign by K. Hovnanian Enterprises began over a year ago but was stopped by West Goshen Township. Mrs. Baker said she was concerned about the Township setting a precedent for larger signs or billboards. Mr. Meakim said that will not happen and Mrs. Baker asked if East Goshen Township would have approved this sign. Ms. Lynn said that East Goshen Township had approved the sign before becoming aware it was located in West Goshen Township. She added that K. Hovnanian Enterprises has paid West Goshen Township $1,000.00 for engineering and inspection of the site and will have to apply for a permit to install the sign.
On motion by Dr. White, seconded by Ms. McIlvaine, the Board unanimously approved the signing of an agreement with K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., for the installation of a Hershey's Mill
identification sign.
The following bids were opened and read by Mr. Richard J. Craig, Township Engineer, for the General Construction, Mechanical and Plumbing and Electrical work on the West Goshen Maintenance
Garage Renovation Project:
