# Board of Supervisors Workshop 10/13/26

Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors workshop, October 13, 2026: The board approved Change Order No. 1 for the 2026 Township Paving Project. The change order is non-monetary and extends the contract schedule because the contractor could not complete the work this season; the motion passed. A resident raised concerns about moving forward with a park project at the Conway fill site before completing erosion and sediment controls and confirming site stabilization. Township staff said a landscaper had begun adding topsoil and seed, with further inspection and site work planned before removing the controls. The discussion referenced plans to put the park project out to bid, but no park bid or award was acted on at this workshop. Board members also said Parks and Recreation had secured $1 million, without further detail on the funding source or its allocation.

Public comments included claims of more than $29,000 in legal fees involving a supervisor and criticism of the township’s budget performance. A supervisor questioned retaining bond counsel before a specific need is identified and raised transparency and procurement-rule concerns; no action was taken on that issue. No other procurement decisions were identified.
