When: Manheim Township commissioners meeting, May 3, in person in the Morgan Program Center at the Manheim Township Public Library and also held virtually.
What happened: The board approved changes recommended by the township Parks and Recreation Board for swimming attire policy and enforcement at municipal pools. No street or workout clothes and no shoes, except for water use, may be worn in pools, but the policy allows for other apparel worn for medical reasons with a pool managerâs approval. Those who violate the policy will receive a card with the rules and may stay at the pool but may not go in the water.
When: Manheim Township commissioners virtual meeting, April 12.
What happened: The board voted unanimously in favor of urging the Pennsylvania General Assembly to authorize the local use of radar, previously illegal in the state. Commissioner Carol Gifford said Police Chief Thomas Rudzinski supports radar, which would discourage speeding, especially on routes 283, 222 and 30, which have the most crashes, at 19.3 per 1,000 people. Calling it âa distinction we do not want to hold,â Gifford asked residents to urge support from their state representatives.
Police report: Rudzinski said the department recently ordered body cameras for all Manheim Township Police Officers at a cost of $140,000; half of the cost is covered by a grant. He said the cameras will be downloaded at the end of the day, with access for 90 days.
Manheim Township School District is raising money for a scholarship honoring Alexandra Chitwood, a middle school counselor who died of COVID-19 last year, by holding a 5K on Motherâs Day weekend, May 8 and 9.
All proceeds from the Alexandra Chitwood Memorial 5K will fund the Alexandra Chitwood Memorial Scholarship, which was created as a way to remember the educatorâs legacy and continue her work of helping students strive for success.
Due to COVID-19, participants are asked to complete the race at one of three routes. One starts at the tennis courts at Manheim Township High School, another starts at Manheim Township Public Library, and the third starts at the Weaver Fields parking lot at 2883 Weaver Road. Thereâs also the option of creating your own 5K course.
