Public Comment  William (Bill) Miller, 4311 Crestview Rd, commented about the state of the roads in the Township; he called Veolia Water about digging up Devonshire Road for the third time. He: said there was a bad patch on the road, and he thought oft the first responders because he drove overi it and took a shot. Hei noted that when some oft the roads are dug up, contractors should follow a live compaction schedule to make the road safe. Mrs. Lindsey explained that when utility companies dig up the road, they are only required toj pave the area they dug up. She asked Mr. Gotshall ifas staffmember from Public Works would go out to inspect the roads to ensure that  the utility companies met the' Township's specifications for the road.  1    78  Mr. Gotshall explained that the Township does not currently have the stafft toi inspect the  roads. A discussion followed.  Mr. Gotshall noted that the Township has implemented an innovative program to work with the utility companies to implement a fee-in-lieu program. He explained that instead of having the companies repave their own projects, they would complete temporary paving instead and provide the money they would have spent onj paving to the Township sO that the road could be paved adequately. Also, the funding model should be evaluated across the spectrum because the Township may have plans to repave that stretch oft road. This fee-in-lieu program was done  once last year with Veolia, and it was successful.  Mr.Judd asked Mr. Gotshall if the Township was doing anything outside the fee-in-lieu program. Mr. Gotshall explained that the Township is also in the process ofupdating the road cut  Ordinance to align more with PennDOT's specifications.  Mrs. Lindsey referred to the situation on Londonderry Rd, noting that the' Township had just paved the road, and the water company came in and dug it up again. Mr. Miller stated that the person he spoke with at Veolia Water blurted out that the: main line on Londonderry Road is terrible, and they don't have the money; they anticipate the same thing happening again. He suggested that the Township ask the right questions SO there's enough time toj plan and complete the specifications because that road will significantly impact travel. Mr. Judd noted that the  motorists are the ratepayers.  Mrs. Lindsey asked Mr. Gotshall ifh hei is working with the utility companies in advance unless a water main break must be replaced, just in case the Township has plans to repave a road.
