The 6/15/26 Board of Supervisors Meeting

Chase Road Project Change Order Postponed Amidst Cost and Transparency Concerns
A motion to approve Change Order Number One for the Chase Road project, which would convert a basketball court into two tennis courts and relocate the basketball court for an additional cost of $137,000, was postponed. The decision was postponed to the next supervisor's meeting following extensive public comment and board discussion expressing concerns about the project's escalating costs, lack of transparency in the procurement process (Co-Stars program), stormwater management implications, and insufficient public input. The initial project approval was criticized for being added late to the agenda and exceeding budget estimates significantly. While some supervisors felt a postponement was unnecessary, the motion to postpone passed with a 3-2 vote, indicating a desire for further review and potentially renegotiation or reassessment of the project scope and funding.
Chester County America 250 Flag Presented to Township
The Chester County America 250 Commission, represented by Michelle Kickline and Rob Williams, presented and officially handed off an America 250PA Chester County flag to the township. This flag is intended to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary and invites reflection on shared history and the future. The commission aims to connect citizens with events and volunteer organizations throughout the county. The flag will be flown at municipal buildings, libraries, and public facilities. Residents can find more information about Chester County's history and upcoming celebrations at america250chesco.org. Local remarks were also provided by David Blackburn, Director of Historic Preservation and Heritage Programs for Chester County, and Rob Williams, who emphasized the commission's role in supporting local celebrations.
Partial Escrow Release Approved for Berwin Village; Paving and Stormwater Concerns Addressed
The board approved a partial escrow release for Berwin Village in the amount of $64,565.80, leaving a remaining balance of $92,289.29 in escrow. This release covers completed work including trees, shrubs, sidewalks, aprons, fine grading, yard drains, and street lights. The developer had requested approximately $57,000, but a mathematical error led to the listed approval amount. The township engineer, Princeton Hydro, recommended the release after inspecting the completed work. Concerns were raised by the Berwin Village HOA about the final top coat of paving on the roads not yet being finished and about stormwater facilities. The remaining escrow balance is considered sufficient to cover the final paving, and the township engineer will follow up with the HOA regarding stormwater inspection details.
Public Hearing Authorized for Hazard Mitigation Property Acquisition Funded by Puma Grant
The board authorized the advertisement of a public hearing for July 20th, 2026, to consider adopting an ordinance for the acquisition of the property at 599 Parkridge Drive. This acquisition is to be funded through the Puma Hazard Mitigation Program grant and involves demolishing the existing home to mitigate stormwater hazards. The purchase price is $825,000, fully covered by the grant. The motion to advertise the hearing is contingent upon the homeowner signing the revised agreement of sale, with a correction to the homeowner's name on the document.
New Street Sweeper Approved; Bypass Pump Connection for Chesterbrook Station Authorized
The board approved the purchase of a new street sweeper for $337,594 through the Co-Stars program, which includes a $35,000 trade-in value for the current 2016 sweeper. The replacement is motivated by increasing maintenance issues and costs associated with the aging unit, and the long lead time (nearly a year) for a new sweeper. The purchase was part of the 2026 budget. Additionally, a bypass pump connection will be installed at the Chesterbrook Pump Station for $29,800 via Co-Stars, to allow for the use of a portable pump in case of failure, a necessity given that the station's single pump is in need of rebuild.
