LEWISTOWN — Plans to move forward with changes to restrooms at Kish Park are underway.

Derry Township officials accepted a quote from The Wire Guys this week to install restroom access controls to the bathrooms located at the park.

The restrooms will include automatic locks on both exterior doors. Supervisors said they will lock at night and reopen when the park opens in the morning.

“We are hoping this will decrease any chance of vandalism overnight,” said Township Manager Kelly Shutes.

The restrooms will also be heated, allowing them to be open year round.

“This will benefit the public to have sanitary facilities all year round,” adds Shutes.

The quote was approved in the amount of $8,971.04

Township officials also approved of two change orders for the Kish Park renovation project during the board’s meeting.

One in the amount of $80 to add two electrical boxes to their plans, and another for $250 to provide power for a wifi router and breaker and wiring to supply the door access panel with power.

Officials also approved a payment for site construction for the Kish Park renovation project in the amount of $19,298.85.

Two resolutions were also approved during this meeting.

The first resolution is to allow the board to dispose of old records.

The second resolution allows for the revision of sewage facilities plan for a proposed Wawa in Burnham.

The resolution for Wawa is a form that goes into the Department of Environment Protection for a sewage planning module that the board is required to submit for approval.

Also during the boards meeting, officials gave approval to the Mifflin County Regional Police Department to hold their annual National Night Out at Kish Park on Aug. 5.

The board also approved a $100 donation to the Keep PA Beautiful during its meeting.

In other news, supervisors noted the Golden Mile Farmers’ Market will no longer be held at Kish Park.

“The Market Association president and his wife are no longer able to continue to host the market due to health problems,” said Shutes. “The market has been at the park for over 40 years.”
