Board of Supervisors' Regular PM Session | July 16, 2026

Minquess Ambulance Reports Increased Call Volume, Receives Grants, Assists in Mass Casualty Incident Response
The Minquess Ambulance report for June highlighted the purchase and service of a replacement ambulance, with another on order. Operationally, the service is experiencing increased call volume, and they are formulating the 2031 plan. The service received two grants: $2,835 from PA Skills Game a Chance for CPR mannequins and $17,000 from the county for NSO funding for patient movement and lift equipment. The service responded to a mass casualty incident in Berks County (at least 60 known victims) by keeping three trucks available in their first response area, demonstrating support for other communities.
Security Camera Upgrade Proposal Tabled Amidst Contractual Concerns
The Board of Supervisors tabled the proposal for security cameras and server upgrades due to ongoing legal and contractual concerns. Township solicitor Mr. SD had questions about the contract, and the board is awaiting a response from the vendor, Pavon, and their legal team. The item was left on the agenda hoping for a last-minute resolution but was ultimately tabled for the August meeting.
Business Owner Seeks Zoning Clarification for Online Auction Expansion
Julie Cook, owner of Dubtail Auctions, presented a proposal for an addition to her business, located on Jim Crochy's property. She aims to keep the existing walls of a grain bin and add onto it to expand her business, which operates primarily online with limited foot traffic. The current zoning classification does not fit her business model, which is neither retail nor warehouse. She has addressed stormwater management and is seeking a change in use to accommodate her online auction business, which includes shipping and limited pickups. The discussion involved options such as asking the zoning officer (Ma) to reconsider her determination, applying to the zoning hearing board for a variance, or amending the zoning ordinance. The board favored initial discussions with the zoning officer and expressed the need for a comprehensive written description of the business use, including building details, square footage, customer traffic, and operational descriptions.
