VISITOR

COMMITTEE REPORTS
The Park report is on file in the Township office.

Gary Baker reported Crime Stopper signs will soon be erected in the township and there have been some incidents in Lake Meade involving kids taking cars for a "joy ride". He reported the kids were caught. He asked if the township would consider adopting a Curfew Ordinance. It was suggested that the curfew should only be for Lake Meade because that's where the problem is. Gary stated if you do that, then we could start having the same problems in the rest of the township. Kay King stated the curfew should be for the entire township, because there have been problems around her area and also at the Park.
Chairman Worley reported Reading is in the process of drawing up an ordinance and they are going to give us a copy when adopted.
Mike Brandt wanted to know what times the curfew would be in effect and if the working kids would be exempt.
After further discussion, the supervisors suggested tabling this until such time as they can look into this in more detail and a copy of the Reading ordinance is available.

Chairman Worley reported the road crew has been installing new posts and reflectors, correcting water problems on roads and locating the underground wires on County Line Road.
