Bald Eagle Township Supers Make Changes to Monthly, Annual Permits for Temporary Food Stands, Cleanscapes Presents Idea for 2026
By Christopher Miller
BALD EAGLE TOWNSHIP – A lengthy discussion about seasonal and annual “temporary stand permit fees” took place at Monday evenings supervisors meeting.
The permit fees, pertaining to those who set up food trailers within the boundaries of Bald Eagle Township, will be changing to a monthly or annual fee starting July 1.
Fees for a monthly permit will be $100 while an annual permit will be $450 and running on a calendar year basis. Annual fees for the remainder of the year will be prorated for the remainder of 2025. In 2026, only monthly or calendar-year annual fees will be sold with no prorated options.
Elisabeth Lynch of Clinton County Cleanscapes thanked the township supervisors for their recent donation of $1,000 to support the mission of the Cleanscapes.
“We applied for a grant and we were not chosen to receive it,” Lynch said. “We cannot hold our electronic collection event, so we decided to try something new: in cooperation with Wayne Township Landfill, we have an allocation of cubic yards in roll off dumpsters per year, and like we tried in Lamar Township recently, we may open up this program in Bald Eagle Township next year.
The program would allow people who are residents of Bald Eagle Township to drop off household goods for free with the exception of tires, appliances, electronics, and chemicals, for disposal.
“We could take old sofas, mattresses, furniture, and other household waste. We will approach you next year about doing this program for residents as long as we do not use up our annual allocation of cubic yards at the landfill,” Lynch said. “The Cleanscapes board really appreciates you all for your donation.”
In other news, road work along Draketown Road will be progressing with paving, weather permitting.
Township supervisors will be reviewing what inventory currently exists in outbuildings for various crosswalk, bar, and arrow painting around the township. Estimates were received to conduct the work, but leftover materials may still be at the township building to use, lessening the bill for paint and supplies.
A letter was received by Bald Eagle Township requesting a letter of support for the Multimodal Grant to install sidewalks and sidewalk crossings on Hogan Boulevard within the township.
“Through the grant application, the county is seeking $140,000 through DCED to support entering costs for the Route 150 safety improvement project,” township secretary/treasurer Marissa Morgan said. “They are only looking for a letter of support and not asking the township to commit funds towards the project.”
Township supervisor Steve Tasselli said that he supports the project, but has had “business owners come to me, expressing that they don’t want to give up their parking spaces for their businesses for a sidewalk project.”
“We support the project, but we have lots of questions and will be tabeling this for lack of motion,” he said. The letter of support died for lack of a motion.
Lastly, township supervisors congratulated Secretary/Treasurer Marissa Morgan for being the only “operator” to successfully get all three tennis balls off of road cones and into a bucket without dropping any, and the only Secretary who tried during the Excavator Competition at the Clinton County Association of Township Officials Convention on June 5. Marissa thanked Chip Miller for “coaching her and giving her a pep talk” before the competition.
