The Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors’ business meeting on November 2, 2026, included several procurement and capital-project actions. The board approved a GHD proposal for a compost-facility improvement study, contingent on settlement-related documents for the environmental appeal; a resident described the proposal as time-and-materials work not to exceed $60,000. The board also approved HRG’s annual landfill groundwater-monitoring agreement for $15,900. For the Hidden Lake culvert replacement, the board awarded the project to apparent low bidder J. Phillips Excavating and Hauling for $299,780.50, subject to solicitor review and satisfactory references; 14 bids had been received. Improvement guarantees were also approved.

During public comment and board discussion, the proposed 2027 budget was described as showing a deficit of nearly $900,000, prompting calls to reduce spending; officials discussed reserves, fire-service costs, and future retiree health obligations, but no budget action was taken. The board discussed a resolution to put repeal of the township’s special library tax to voters, including whether the referendum should be held in May or November; the transcript does not clearly capture the resolution’s final disposition. The board also approved payment of bills, including $434,568.63 from the General Fund and $140,473.44 from the Township Authority.
