Letter From The Editor
H ello and thank you for the warm welcome! It’s my pleasure to serve as your new Editor of the
Warrington LINK magazine. Thank you to Barbara Livrone for all her dedicated years of service – we
hope she is enjoying her retirement!
This issue is the second one with our new feature called Employee Spotlight. Please read about the
wonderful staff we have in Warrington Township and all the interesting things these spotlight members
do for the residents.
It’s important to note that our Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) is working tirelessly to save
migrating birds and monarch butterflies in our meadows through a “No-Mow” schedule. If you’ve
encountered higher grasses near Bradford Dam, read on – it’s for a very special reason! You might even
be able to spot some of the critters mentioned in this article.
This quarter we are pleased to have our expert-in-residence, Bill Connolly, Supervisor, explain the Jeannine (Jen) Fielding
nuances of the Zoning Ordinance changes as they relate directly to homeowners. This 400+ page
document has been “in the hopper” for nearly 2 years and is now “fully cooked”!
We are excited to offer a retrospective about our very own Warrington Cares “Where Are They Now?” featuring seven past award
recipients of the Scholarship Award. Also, take a look at a hidden gem right here in Warrington Township, the Equestrian Center.
Learn more about how this center is working with people of all ages to transform lives through the healing power of horses.
Finally, I’d like to let you know I plan to start a series called “Municipalities – Really?” I have lived in five states over the course
of my life and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the only one I have known with a municipal government structure. It made
me curious to learn more and after talking with many residents, they also weren’t exactly sure how the division of State, County
and Municipal government services are outlined. Keep an eye out for future “how’s” and “why’s” and “what’s”!
I hope you enjoy this issue and am opening up a direct line of communication for future issues. Please feel free to reach me
anytime with comments, suggestions or new ideas for articles!

From The Chairman
STRETCHING THE TOWNSHIP BUDGET
Fred R. Gaines, BCEE, P.E., Chair
In the last five years, Warrington Township has implemented an aggressive plan to leverage our
limited capital funds by using them as the Township’s share in grants from an assortment of federal,
state and even private agencies. Some of Warrington’s largest projects planned or already contracted
are using funds from sources other than Warrington taxpayers.
Up until recently, Warrington had to depend upon issuing General Obligations Bonds as the major
source for funding capital projects. This revenue was augmented by other revenue including: Park
Fred R. Gaines
and Rec fees, Open Space fees and interest earnings. Although the interest that the Township pays
has been low in recent years (due to the Townships favorable bond rating and a lower interest rate environment), it is still an
expense to the taxpayers as real estate taxes are used for the repayment of the bonds. Some of them will not be paid off until
2034. Now, however, an increasing part of the Township’s annual capital funding is paid for with grants from outside agencies.
At the same time that the Grant program was started, work began on the development of a long-term capital plan. As part of
the sale of the water and sewer utilities, a fixed asset survey had to be performed of those facilities and it was decided to expand
it to all of the Township assets. For the first time in the Township’s history we had a complete inventory of all of the Township’s
tangible assets.
The Board of Supervisors has also earmarked approximately $12 million dollars of the proceeds from the sale of the water/
sewer systems in 2019 to fund capital projects. This should allow the Township to not have to borrow money for new capital
projects for the next three or four years. By that time, some existing debt will have been paid off and if the Township needs to
borrow money to fund capital projects, they will be able to do so without having to raise taxes. The Township is also looking into
ways to reduce interest expense with existing debt and may look into refinancing higher cost debt previously incurred.
In summary, by leveraging township funds to win grants, having the foresight to set aside proceeds from the sale of the water/
sewer systems to fund capital projects, having strong financial management and a significant “rainy day” fund have helped
improve the Township’s bond rating. The improved bond rating allows the Township to issue bonds at low interest expense, has
allowed the Board of Supervisors to not have to raise taxes and stretch the dollar to fund capital projects.

Public Works Department
When’s the last time you saw Joe sitting still? Have you seen him
working in the administrative offices? Out on the roads? Mowing? Paving?
Leading the team in so many ways … Joe Renfer is this issue’s Employee

THE NEW ZONING ORDINANCE AND YOU
By William Connolly, Member, Board of Supervisors
T he new Zoning Ordinance has by now most likely passed the County and the Board of
Supervisors. As a result, I’d like to update you on what I believe will be the most helpful to
you, the homeowner. For specific details about the new Ordinance, please consult the team at the
Warrington Township administrative building.
The new Zoning Ordinance has taken many years to overhaul, but in the end it will provide an
opportunity for better planning of new development, and make it easier on homeowners who are
just seeking to improve their properties without unreasonable time and cost before the Zoning
Hearing Board (ZHB). The changes fall into three broad categories.
New lots were allowed to be created that did not conform to the requirements of the
1. zone in which they were located. This happened in a variety of ways but resulted in
what are called non-conforming lots. Having a non-conforming lot can be a problem.
Almost any improvement may require an application to the Zoning Hearing Board. Those
William Connolly
applications can be expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, some financial institutions
can be hesitant to loan where lots are non-conforming. A well-drawn ordinance should
minimize such occurrences. Our old ordinance maximized them, either because developers were permitted to create new
non-conforming lots or as the result of ill-considered rezoning of existing lots that made them non-conforming.
The new ordinance provides relief from these problems in two ways. First, it creates a number of neighborhood “overlay
zones” with requirements which reflect what actually exists in the neighborhood, thereby eliminating the problem for
those neighborhoods. Second, the new ordinance includes a provision that declares any lot that was created undersize
to be conforming.
All zoning ordinances contain impervious area provisions which The old ordinance combined

established rather low impervious limits in the R-1, R-2, and R-2I zones
which comprise much of the Township east of Fairways Golf Course (more Most of these properties were

In recent years a high percentage of Zoning Hearing Board applications
involved this issue so many homeowners should be helped by this change.
I believe that good zoning protects and enhances the interests of residents in multiple ways. The new Zoning Ordinance is
designed to preserve the character of our community and make life a little better for residents, who are the ones the ordinance
should serve —- and now will.

SAFETY NEVER SLEEPS
FROM THE CODES DEPARTMENT
By Jackie Wilson, Communications Manager
FROM THE PERMITS OFFICE:
As our busiest season of the year ends, we would like to give everyone a reminder to close out any open permits. Once a
project is started and all the necessary inspections are performed, it is often that a final inspection is missed. A final inspection
is important to ensure the work has been completed to code and meets all requirements. It could also point out some items you
or your contractor might not have known to address and ensure the safety of your home improvement. Please contact the code
enforcement office at (215) 997-7501, prompt 1 to schedule your inspection. Inspections occur Monday through Friday, from
8:30am -3:00pm.
FROM THE CODES DEPARTMENT:
Winterize your home:
• Venture around your property to correct any home maintenance that may be a problem in the months of
winter, such as: gutters clear of debris, sidewalk, steps and driveways clear of cracks, outdoor lights are
in working order.
• Check outside vents (such as bathroom and dryer vents). Ensure they’re clear of any debris such as
dryer lint or any nesting from insects or wildlife.
• Check home maintenance inside the property, have any chimney or woodstoves cleaned, make
sure vents and any heating devices are cleared of clutter.
FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE:
Fall Safety Tips
• Daylight savings ends on Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 2:00am. Tip: Turn back your clocks 1-Hour
before bed.
• It is recommended that batteries in the smoke detectors be changed every six months. Set the alarm
on your Smart phone or Google calendar as a recurring reminder. In addition, test smoke alarms
and Carbon Dioxide alarms at least monthly.
• Remember: Warrington Township does not permit open burning at any time (this includes: yard
waste, trash, construction debris!)
Heating Devices
• If using a space heater, turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment, such as the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or
portable heater.
• Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to prevent sparks from flying into the room and burn only dry, seasoned wood.
Allow ashes to cool before disposing in a tightly covered metal container, which is kept at least 10 feet away from the home
and any other nearby buildings. Douse and saturate with water.
• Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified
professional.
Halloween Safety
• Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations
well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs, heaters, candles.
• Costumes should be flame-resistant or flame-retardant. Choose material that won’t easily ignite if it
comes in contact with heat or flame.
• Use flashlights or glow sticks as alternatives to candles when decorating walkways and yards.
They’re much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, ensuring nothing blocks escape routes.

Helping Trauma Victims Who
Are Transported Via Helicopter
By Lee Greenberg,
Director of Emergency Services and Code Enforcement
In addition to normal duties, four Warrington Township emergency
services personnel, Lee Greenberg, Bill McCann, Justin Faust, and Kevin
Craig recently received training toward assisting medical helicopters, as
this relates to trauma accidents and emergencies that occur in the field.
What happens when you have a trauma victim who needs to be
transported off site to a hospital and can’t get there fast enough via land
vehicle? You bring in the chopper.
Emergency service personnel have to know how to set up the landing
zones and what the flight crew is looking for when they land. For example,
is there a home with a large yard where they can land? A long stretch of
roadway that will be conducive to landing safely?
It’s important for our team to also understand overall safety of working with the helicopter team and the mechanics of the bird
itself so that everyone can remain safe during the landing, loading and takeoff for any emergency situation.
This training will assist our Emergency Services Team with their State Rescue Certification.

by Ivy Ross, Environmental Advisory Council, Vice Chair
W arrington Township has fought hard to preserve areas of natural importance for the benefit of its residents and future
generations. One need not look very far to see the negative impact overdevelopment can have, not only on the appearance
and beauty of our neighborhoods, but also the health of the ecosystem. One of our shining examples of such conservation is the
Bradford Dam. Within its 280 acres, it offers some of the only large meadows and undeveloped grassed areas left in Warrington
Township, providing an undisturbed grassland habitat necessary for grassland birds to nest, rear, and feed their young. Some
grassland bird species at the Bradford Dam include: falcons, shorebirds, sparrows and songbirds whose nesting season is
mid-May through mid-July. Bradford meadow also offers a fertile breeding ground for one of the crown-jewel of meadows,
the Monarch butterflies. The decline in these grassland birds and butterflies has brought about the need to restore and recover
grassland bird nesting populations by increasing their habitat, where possible.
These grassland birds are in great peril, their numbers severely declining. Almost
3 billion North American birds vanished since 1970, i.e., one in every 3rd bird.
The monarch butterfly population is also steadily inching towards extinction. 80%
of their population fell due to habitat loss and pesticide usage in the last three
decades. Warrington Township hosts more than 220 migratory bird species at the
Bradford Dam, and several butterfly species, including the monarchs. Therefore, it
is vital to protect this habitat in our community.
Over the last several years, a coalition of local environmental groups has
been planning a mowing schedule for the Bradford Dam, including members of
the Warrington, Doylestown, Chalfont and New Britain Environmental Advisory
Councils, Bucks County Birders Association, Bucks County Audubon Society, and
the Bucks County Parks and Recreation Department. Before the pandemic, most
townships in Bucks County attended a meadow management workshop focused on the benefits of reduced mowing practices.
Not mowing between April and July at the Bradford Dam is essential because last year the mowers came too early and countless
baby birds perished in the process.
While birds may be the more visible beneficiaries of such conservation
efforts, several species of wildlife benefit from it, as well. The migration of
monarch butterflies coincides with the ‘no-mow’ schedule when they come
from Mexico to breed in the US. The meadows at the Bradford Dam are perfect
places for these beautiful visitors to raise their multi-generational families
before they return to Mexico in the fall, thanks to the abundance of milkweed
plants that flourish when we postpone the mowing season.
Yet lawn mowers are not the only danger to young birds, monarchs, or
milkweed. Keeping dogs on their leash and children out of the tall grass during
this breeding season (April-July) will also help these important occupants of
this home we all share.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and can assure you mowing will resume at its normal cycle when the ‘No
Mow’ season is over.

Enhancements to the Weisel Preserve
By Ivy Ross, Environmental Advisory Council, Vice Chair
W arrington Township has received grant funding from the PECO Green Region program to enhance our newest trail segment
in the 90-acres of Township open space, known as the Weisel Preserve. The trail begins at the Route 202 Parkway trailhead
on Stump Road near Billingsley Drive and currently ends at Mill Creek Road. Improvements include planting several clusters of
native trees and shrubs, installation of a pollinator garden and the addition of benches along the trail for visitors to rest, enjoy
nature and the beauty of their surroundings.
In May 2021, Eagle Scout candidate, Eric Bleiler, from Boy Scout Troop 48, led his troop in constructing the Pollinator Garden.
The project consisted of installing approximately 275 pollinator plugs and wire fencing to minimize wildlife grazing on the newly
planted plugs. The Warrington Environmental Advisory Council (WEAC) provided guidance on this project. The WEAC also
designed an interpretive sign that will be installed at this garden to educate the public on the importance of pollinator plants.
In addition, the WEAC and Township Public Works staff planted 15 native trees, purchased at a discount, from the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society Tree Tenders Program. Several volunteers from the Warrington Park and Recreation Committee, as well as
several members of the public also assisted in the plantings.
Only Rain Down the Drain!
By Mary R. Stover, P.E., CKS Engineers
S torm drains and roadside ditches lead directly to our streams, lakes and
rivers. So, any oil, pet waste, leaves, trash, or dirty water from washing your
car that enters a storm drain gets into our streams, lakes and rivers. Help protect
the aquatic life and our water supply.
What can you do?
Simple. These tips will help prevent pollutants from entering our streams, lakes and rivers:
• Use a broom instead of a hose to clean off your sidewalks and driveway
• Sweep fertilizer off of driveways and sidewalks, back onto your lawn
• Keep leaves, grass clippings, trash, and fertilizers out of storm drains
• Do not dump motor oil, chemicals, pet waste, dirty or soapy water, or anything else down the storm drain
Help keep our water clean!
For any questions or concerns regarding stormwater or if you observe pollutants entering the storm sewer or
stream, please call Warrington Township at 215-343-9350.

Public Works Department Receives Commendation From Township Manager
The Department was celebrated at a luncheon on June 15th, 2021 with Board members present: Fred Gaines, Chair; Ruth
Schemm, Vice Chair; Mark Lomax, Member; William Connolly, Member.
The entire Public Works Department recently received Commendations from the Township Manager in
recognition of the Department’s ability to save the taxpayers of Warrington Township significant tax-dollars
by having highly skilled employees doing high-level tradesman work, such as Carpentry,Electrical,
Plumbing, HVAC and more, thereby not requiring the Township to formally bid some construction
projects, which is substantially more expensive than doing projects in-house.
No finer example of this was demonstrated from the construction project
of converting the former Police Department to conference rooms and offices.

The Link - Fall 2021LARGE CROWD FIGHTS RAIN TO CELEBRATE HEROES
Annual Memorial Day Ceremony
By Chris Patton, Veterans Affairs Committee
T he chilly, rainy weather on May 29, 2021, didn’t deter area residents from coming
to Igoe Porter, Wellings Memorial Field to honor Americans who gave their lives
for our country. A large tent sheltered the more than 100 people who attended an
eventful program at Warrington’s annual Memorial Day ceremony, which included
speeches from Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (pictured right), State Senator Maria
Collett, and State Representative Todd Polinchock.
The speakers acknowledged all Americans who served and gave their lives in
the defense of our country, noting the importance of remembering the ultimate
sacrifice the servicemembers made to ensure our freedom, security and prosperity.
Sen. Collett specifically noted the large number of names on the memorial wall of
those from or living in Warrington, despite it being a small community, who served
in the United States armed forces. Additionally, recognition was accorded those in
the audience who served in the armed forces, and also the police, firefighters and
EMTs in attendance.
Other contributors to the ceremony added additional richness and poignancy to the event:
• United Young Marines expertly performed their role as color guard, despite the inclement weather. Msgr Beisel of Saint
Robert Bellarmine Church gave the Invocation and Benediction. The Veterans Association of Military Musicians performed
several stirring patriotic anthems.
• Warrington’s resident poet Larry Bullock, accompanied by his daughter Emily, presented a memorable rendition of
“Christmas in the Trenches 1915.”
• Refreshments were part of the event as well: Mission BBQ provided delicious pulled pork and chicken sliders to go along
with water and soft pretzels served by the Veterans Affairs Committee.
Of course, presentations play an honored role in every Warrington Memorial Day ceremony. This
year, five names were added to the Veterans’ Wall: Lloyd E. Kinzel, Army/Air Force, WW II and Korea;
Bonnie B. Kinzel, Army, WW II; Lloyd A. Kinzel, Army, Vietnam; Maryann V. Scarpill, Marines, Viet
Nam; Vincent Valinotti, Army, Operation Joint Guardian; and Richard F. Weiss, Army, Desert Storm.
Certificates from the Township were awarded to each of the wall honorees.
A memorial wreath is also presented each year to honor military members who gave their lives in
service to our country, and specifically those for whom the field is named--William Igoe, James Porter,
and Edward Wellings. This year’s presentation was carried out by Dennis Igoe, brother of William, and
Vincent Valinotti, Vice Chair of the Veteran Affairs Committee. In addition, Dr. Constance Ace of the
Historical Commission dedicated a new memorial to the memory of SP 4 Daniel Bradley.
Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick gave a very special recognition to each of the honorees: a United
States Flag accompanied by a hand-signed certificate stating that each flag had been flown over the
United States Capitol Building in honor of the awardee.
The Veteran Affairs Committee appreciates the efforts of all the Warrington Township employees, participants
and spectators who make our annual Memorial Day ceremony such a moving and important tribute.

POLICE OFFICER PROMOTED TO SERGEANT
W arrington Township Police Department recently promoted Jessica Bloomingdale to the rank of
Sergeant. She is the first female police officer to be promoted to Sergeant in the 50-year history of the
Warrington Township Police Department.
Sergeant Bloomingdale is a 2003 graduate of the Delaware County Police Academy and began her career with the Warrington
Township Police Department in 2005.
From 2009-13 she worked in the department’s Detective Division.
In 2009, Sgt. Bloomingdale became a member of the Bucks County
Critical Incident Stress Management Team. This team consists of peer
support personnel who help first responders deal with traumatic events
they have faced while on duty. In 2011, she received certification as a
Municipal Police Officer Education and Training Commission Instructor.
This commission was established in 1974 to establish certification
and training standards for police officers in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Sgt Bloomingdale is one of three people in the WTPD to
have earned this certification. “Sergeant Bloomingdale has worked very
hard for this well-deserved promotion and has clearly demonstrated her
potential to do great things for the department,” said WT Police Chief
Daniel Friel. “I wish her great success and look forward to working with
her in her new role.”
Mark Lomax, member, Warrington Township Board of Supervisors and
Board Liaison, Warrington Township Police Department, remarked, “We
have excellent men and women police officers serving the residents and
businesses of WT. Sgt Bloomingdale has exemplified what it means to
be a police officer. Her training, on-the-job experience and demonstrated
leadership skills facilitated her to rise to the top of the promotion list for
Sergeant and subsequent promotion to that rank by the Chief of Police.
On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, we are very proud of Jessica and
look forward to her continued growth as an officer and leader.”
