Page 1 of4    Hopewell Township, / Board of Supervisors  December 6, 2018 Solicitor's Report:  Tax Rate Resolution; Resolution 11-2018- Chairman Manifold motioned to adopt Resolution 11-2018. Board member O'Neill seconded the motion. Motion carried. It was noted that tax Bond Lane paving - Solicitor Miller drafted a letter to go to parties listed as developers on the subdivision plan for that project regarding the paving the first 30 feet of Bond Lane. Giving them until June 30, 2019 to complete paving or township may pursue action against the developers under Section 22615 of the Subdivision Land Development Ordinance. The letter also demands they post bond for paving within 30 days and that no permits will be issued on the lots until this is taken care of. Solicitor is also going to copy other property owners on the private lane sO they are aware that the township sent letter out. Solicitor Miller warned that the only thing to be careful about is that expectations are not set too high with regards to what the township is going to do moving forward with this. However, Solicitor Miller is hopeful that this will get their attention. Some discussion in past months about Paul Miller and Paul Miller's involvement in this issues. Solicitor Miller did research and noted that Paul Miller posted a bond for paving at a different part of that subdivision. Paul Miller was not involved with the part that Mr. Young was complaining about. Solicitor Miller wanted to confirm that the Board was fine with him sending the proposed letter out. Board Members are fine with the drafted Steve Milchling - Donnie went out to look at what Mr. Milchling wants to do. The Solicitor was asked to prepare an Easement Agreement for pipe along Hrebik Road. Donnie has sent Solicitor Miller an Ariel shot of the location and drew on where pipe is to go. Because there is not a whole lot of room there anyway, Solicitor Miller thought this would be ok. It is typical to have the land owner provide a sketch plan and/or survey plan showing where the pipe is going to be exactly. However in this case Solicitor Miller is ok with the overhead shot and the description of where the pipe is going to be located. Solicitor Miller want to know if the Board was going to require the landowner to get a draftsman or surveyor. Chairman Manifold is fine with the Ariel shot with drawn on location as long as their signatures are on it, accepting the Ariel shot. The easement agreement does reflect that it is a non-exclusive, which basically shows that the township is giving the the right to lay pipe in the public right of way and that the township can do whatever the township wants in that public right-of-way as long as they don't interfere with the pipe. Solicitor included in the agreement an indemnity and release of township to protect Upset tax sale of al lot in Bailey springs. Quite title action now being filed against that land. The solicitor has indicated to the Plaintiffs in the case that the solicitor will accept service on behalf of township. The township is being named because of any outstanding taxes or liens. However the county tax claim bureau has all of the tax money sitting in escrow. Either the sale will be set aside and the former owner will pay that tax money or the tax money will get distributed to township. So the township will get paid for its tax liens on property. Report from the solicitor was that they will accept service and at some point the township will need to respond to agree  rates have stayed the same. No increase.  letter.  the township.
