East Cocalico Township 6/18/26 Board of Supervisors Meeting
Published: Jun 18, 2026
Township Pursues Low Volume Road Grant for Poplar Drive Improvements
The Board of Supervisors discussed the Poplar Drive Low Volume Road Grant application. The township is seeking grant funding for road improvements on Poplar Drive, addressing drainage and structural issues. The application process involves initial 'soft costs' for engineering, planning, and analysis, estimated at up to $25,000 for Phase 1, which can be recouped if the grant is awarded. Phase 2 would involve permitting for two culverts that require DEP approval. The Conservation District is supportive of the grant application. The motion to approve the grant application was passed.
Township Addresses Unreceived Recycling Funds and Debates Newsletter Content
The Board of Supervisors discussed the status of township recycling funds from the DEP, which have not been received since 2023, amounting to a significant annual loss of approximately $300,000. Efforts are underway involving State Representative Zimmerman's office, DEP, and Laxwama to resolve the issue. The board also debated the content of the township newsletter, with some favoring inclusion of local business advertisements to support the local economy and offset costs, while others preferred a newsletter focused solely on township news to maintain editorial control and avoid implicit endorsement of businesses. Feedback indicated a preference for a newsletter focused on township information.
Public Works Reports on Road Maintenance, Pool Opening, and Community Cleanup Efforts
Public Works reported on various activities in May, including a community trash cleanup day organized by the Denver Everett Rotary Club, the opening of the Reemstown pool, and maintenance on bridge handrailings. They also addressed sinkholes at the intersection of ED Drive and Scenic Drive by using flowable fill and plan to resurface later. Roadway milling began on Landis Road, and roadside mowing was conducted. Two employees passed applicator exams for public works, with a third scheduled to test. The department also discussed plans for road maintenance, including patching and potential full reclamation of Glenwood Drive, and the initiation of a road inventory project with experienced assistance.
Board Approves Multiple Financial Resolutions, Including Escrow and General Fund Bills
The Board of Supervisors approved several financial items, including escrow fund bills, general fund bills, and payroll. Escrow fund bills totaling $1,293.09 for the week of June 10th were approved. General fund bills for the week of June 4th ($12,585.70) and the week of June 10th ($64,320.82) were also approved.

Township to Solicit Donations for Volunteer Fire Companies via Business Outreach
The Board of Supervisors approved a fire department donation letter to be sent to local businesses, aiming to solicit donations for the township's two fire companies. The letter will include pictures of the fire departments, information about their services, and details regarding the absence of a fire tax in the township. The board decided to include the pictures, emphasizing the importance of supporting volunteer fire services. The issue of incorrect contact information for Stevens Fire Company was noted, and the board agreed to proceed once correct information is confirmed.
