When: Bart Township supervisors meeting, April 7.
What happened: A letter from Manheim Township urged municipalities to support the formation of a countywide public health department. The supervisors declined the request and instead passed a motion to oppose the idea by either joining with neighboring Christiana Borough or drafting a letter of their own to the Lancaster County commissioners.
Bridge repair: The board voted to rescind last monthâs decision to apply for a state grant to replace a failing pipe under Gibble Hill Road.
Background: The road was in disrepair to the point where the township believed it to be unsafe. The road was closed, and there was discussion of abandoning it, but the community turned out at township meetings to ask it be replaced or repaired instead. In March the board voted to apply for a grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to install a culvert to act as a bridge for the stream.
