SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. — At its regular meeting on Monday, April 11, the board of supervisors voted to grant an honorable discharge to Police Officer James Waters, effective immediately. According to the supervisors, Waters suffers from a non-work related physical disability that affects his ability to continue in service.

The board also authorized the sale of the po lice department’s canine Nemo to Waters for $1, due to the officer’s relationship with the dog and the animal’s limited use to the department without Waters.

In other business:

• The board accepted the resignation of Alphonse Prisco from the zoning hearing board. According to the supervisors, Prisco resigned due to health issues. They then voted to appoint Carl Babushko, who was zoning hearing board alternate, to fulfill the term expiring in January 2017, and Paul Lockett to fill the alternate seat, which also expires in January 2017.

• Geoffrey Stanton was appointed to a planning commission term expiring in January 2017.
