Peters Township Council put in some overtime on Monday night as they tackled a small but very detailed agenda. First off was a public hearing on how the township will go about making use of $3.7 million that will be awarded to the township by the United States Food and Drug Administration Task Force. Peters Township Detective Ed Walker was vital in the elimination of an entrepreneur that set up businesses that marketed steroids and kratom claiming them to have medical benefits. Those claims are illegal if not supported by the FDA and therefore Walker’s efforts brought down a large illegal shipping and processing plant. Walker was awarded a distinguished achievement award thanking him for his efforts. Among the agencies having funds donated to them from Peters Township will be the South Hills Area Council of Governments Cooperative Police Program and the Washington County District Attorney’s office. District Attorney Jason Walsh thanked the township for its generous offer of picking up the licensing fees for the phone extraction programs used in detective investigations.

The Washington County Elections Board will approve the map and alert township residents of any changes in their district or voting precinct. Finally, council scheduled a public hearing for June 5 to consider changes in the Conservation Residential Overlay Zoning District. Council is looking to tighten up rules in the ordinance to better fit the vision council had when the district was approved approximately 10 years ago.
