Foster Township children will have a chance to enjoy at least one holiday so far in 2020: Halloween.
Township supervisors set trick-or-treating hours at their regular meeting Monday evening. Children can trick-or-treat from 6 to 7:30 p.m. the day of the holiday, which falls on a Saturday this year.
Also at the meeting, supervisors voted in favor of allowing the Bradford Raptors football team to use the Foster Brook field for practices and games through Nov. 14.
Otherwise, Monday’s meeting was a quiet one.
No residents spoke during the public discussion portion, and there were no ordinances or new or old township business to discuss.
In the monthly police department report, Chief Tom Munn said the department handled 229 complaints in September. Six of those complaints were motor vehicle accidents, and the department issued 41 citations. They conducted 15 criminal investigations and patrolled 5,740 miles, too.
Supervisor Gus Crissman outlined all the work the road crew did in September. Tasks in the list included mowing all the road berms for the second time this year; paving Smith Drive, Nelsondale Road and Russell Boulevard; and closing the Harrisburg Run bridge at the request of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Foster Township assisted with paving projects in the townships of Keating, Eldred and Bradford, too.
Code Enforcement Officer Kevin Shaffer said he has looked into 37 issues this year to date, including three in September. There are three that he follows up with almost monthly, he said.
Under new business, Supervisor Chairman George Hocker just encouraged people to vote in the November election.
“Greatest thing you can do,” he said.
