Foster Township Supervisors passed a resolution for a request of a liquor license for Reid Stores Inc., of Lockport, N.Y., owner of Crosby’s-Foster Brook at 1002 E. Main St., during Monday’s meeting at the municipal building.

In reading the resolution, Chairman George Hocker said the license will have to be approved at a later date by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

Following the meeting, board member Gus Crissman said the board’s adoption of the resolution is the first step for the business to obtain a liquor license through the state Liquor Control Board. He noted the Sheetz store across the street from Crosby has purchased a liquor license from the state and is expected to sell beer and malt beverages in the future.

In other business, Hocker said the township has made a request for a $421,826 grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development for a sanitary sewer project in the community. If approved by the state, the funds will be used for the upgrade of sewer systems throughout the township.

In other issues in the township, Hocker said the board has finally heard from the state regarding traffic light upgrades for the four-way intersection at East Main Street and Derrick Road.

“We got confirmation back from the state that we’re slowly moving forward for adjustments at the four-way intersection,” Hocker said. “But we’re probably looking at the fall” for the upgrades.

In personnel matters, the board approved the resignation of police officer Jeff Anderson, for purposes of retirement. The board also approved the hiring of Christopher Schwab as a part-time officer. On a related matter, the board heard the police report for the month of January  from Police Chief Tom Munn who said the department answered 193 complaints, attended 15 motor vehicle incidents, issued 21 citations and conducted four criminal investigations.

Under appointments, the board approved Richard Pedine and Tony Reese to serve on the township planning commission, and Jan Knight as deputy tax collector.

In his road report, township road foreman Chad Babcock reminded residents that it is illegal to plow snow out onto township and state roads. He said the amounts of snow found in roads is causing a “lot of problems” for the road crews and if it continues, the township will look into the matter.
