A resident, Ed Kaloma, said vehicles frequently speed through the corner of Randall and Yaden, and requested either a speed bump or a stop sign: \"The Randall Street tend to be, literally, speed race... possibly, we can have some kind of either speed bump or stop sign on our y intersection of, Randell and Yaden.\" Kaloma also asked whether the borough could coordinate with Comcast to trim branches that overhang utility lines rather than requiring each resident to contact the company individually.

Borough staff and council responded that tree-trimming responsibility generally falls to the property owner when the tree is on private property, and that traffic-control requests require review by the chief of police and the borough manager because of engineering, safety and operational considerations. Staff said they would follow up with Kaloma about both the traffic and tree concerns and connect him with the planning commission and the chief.

Council and Public Works staff also discussed cleanup and security at Graceland and the former Yeadon Swim Club property. The Public Works Director reported visible dumping and construction debris at the swim-club site and said new locks would be purchased and placed on the gates and that the contractor believed to have stored material there would be asked to remove it. The director described short-term steps to clean the perimeter and install digital signs related to one-way traffic updates, and said longer-term redevelopment plans will be pursued with the planning commission and may depend on grant funding.

Public Works and engineering staff said pavement work on Bailey is temporary asphalt that will be replaced with concrete later in the year after utility tie-ins and settlement work are complete. Council asked staff to proceed with immediate cleanups and security measures and to return with a redevelopment plan for the former swim-club parcel.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 15, 2025 - Yeadon Borough Council Legislative Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A resident requested speed bumps or signage at the Randall–Yaden intersection and asked the borough to coordinate with Comcast on tree overhangs; council and staff also discussed cleanup, locks and redevelopment plans for Graceland and the former Yeadon (Yeaton) Swim Club property.","taxTitle","Yeadon, Delaware County, Pennsylvania","taxId",71512,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6234751,"Yeadon approves accounts payable; finance director flags $209,000 tax refund from Parkview Court",59,1597000,1656000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398&start=1597&end=1656","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398/thumbnail_1597000.jpg","/articles/6234751/Yeadon/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Yeadon-approves-accounts-payable-finance-director-flags-209000-tax-refund-from-Parkview-Court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234751-2840649a9327ad05b8f7c082d9a5b344/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137781&Signature=S6HdIeIYol8xndN051rfM1xEr9fRTVse24PhY70hSPhjzMxhrYuxflMDXJ9OSp1xSH6Ifsn8f6~OmxvMcJWu9LZJ2OeYUWyOqbuDEuMk4JXcwUmBgWsRkPAGEYBi9XXS69gcF8Q9d0D3CLOglv0YEyqFWitKOa8R0yhEjd-6YFVhjOmcpZGJo5xVAyl-a4YXbMYC2k5AfXJLm~aDBynM5E0KK-ELsUCZ2B1R1dQoVHsqT91gUUlCwQSNmEnNJHTc8AcrU9u5UAeBc64xkCxUExyK~E7KjFM4mnM2RFnczUkK23j1cgpEbX-TkgRJGtVB6GMLWLExuGFjc3b6ORgGDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yeadon Borough Council unanimously approved the May accounts payable listing and additions after Finance Director Nafeez Nichols explained a sizable, unbudgeted tax refund to Parkview Court resulting from a court-ordered tax appeal.

Nichols told the council the refund — $209,000 covering tax years 2023 and 2024 — stems from a tax appeal decided in Parkview Court’s favor by a judge, and that the borough must issue the refund per the court order. Nichols said the amount was not budgeted and will be managed through internal adjustments.

Council members characterized the item as a bookkeeping challenge rather than a policy dispute. The additions list passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. No payment schedule or specific budget offsets were provided in the meeting; the finance director said staff would address budget effects and find ways to cover the unplanned expenditure.","Council approved the accounts payable and an additions list; Finance Director Nafeez Nichols reported an unbudgeted $209,000 refund to Parkview Court due to a court-ordered tax appeal for 2023–24.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6234756,"Yeadon moves forward on grants: Complete Streets policy adopted, parks and transit grants advanced",409,1316000,1725000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398&start=1316&end=1725","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398/thumbnail_1316000.jpg","/articles/6234756/Yeadon/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Yeadon-moves-forward-on-grants-Complete-Streets-policy-adopted-parks-and-transit-grants-advanced","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234756-d646db15bdcc61180c5160b4feb275c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137781&Signature=J1PDekE3a3e1vlq2Zbi0JT5~CVCKLM1JzCZNf5NCfUM3csuSIfLQHNeUVT9iQNtUOMHdwKOH6D7nuS--qloUsqteF9vwSNbg-K3ZIEVflvPfBT5n9jJK2jZYb1vg-mOGg2SkuhGCVcP-6d6vdv4sLxwAJ~sSAEuBnck4rlmHgLVsopjsiXg8jTaKRmbYf7z3K~gkTJxQMpYimxT2zr8Su8hDGOyuP2i1S3QS-ipmZ5gVMqzYyUysV6PonaEt0JAH9M-VAlvfU4wO56TTqyryos61hp9t9G8twjdvd2d77byPZxl3jvV6QzSd~e1gvvAlJm2~AzDhxRnGrtitdxSkRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Yeadon Borough Council adopted a resolution to adopt a Complete Streets policy and unanimously approved staff to pursue several transportation and recreation grant actions, including a community park grant application and a municipal signature designation for a CATA set-aside reimbursement agreement.

Public Works and engineering staff said the Complete Streets policy will support an SS4A (Safe Streets for All) grant application and associated action plan work with Pennoni Engineering. Council voted unanimously to approve the policy resolution (listed as Resolution 2025-006 in meeting discussion). Council also approved a resolution and application to pursue a DCD Greenways, Trails and Recreation grant for community park improvements.

Separately, the borough approved a resolution assigning the borough manager position (rather than an individual name) as the authorized signee for the CATA transportation set-aside reimbursement agreement to avoid future logistical errors. The engineering presenter explained this action was administrative: \"the borough needs to assign an individual person as the signee for the reimbursement agreement and... we just want to assign the borough manager as that position,\" to allow the agreement to move forward.

All grant- and policy-related votes were unanimous. Staff said the Complete Streets work and SS4A planning will proceed with Pennoni; the park grant application and CATA administrative assignment were advanced to meet program deadlines.","Council adopted a Complete Streets resolution to support a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) action plan, approved a community park grant application and designated the borough manager as the signee for a CATA reimbursement agreement.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6234761,"Yeadon council adopts abatement ordinance and advertises fee schedule, tarp rules for public comment",337,887000,1224000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398&start=887&end=1224","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398/thumbnail_887000.jpg","/articles/6234761/Yeadon/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Yeadon-council-adopts-abatement-ordinance-and-advertises-fee-schedule-tarp-rules-for-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234761-c9ff8d8809b3a430a7cbdfb20704109d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137781&Signature=RI9m7nn8FyzJaOGmb-y0p-m9Qj2dza-8rEltbasFdYlkEZTO-btWhn8UeU0fDcdstmzJ1VM-~oX8VfaGnlce~v6X19-lrSDVcL1jx4823wH4VgWgMDYRe1TQcX7kWbscEQCBguqEzJeyMEMZxa2OGwNk9qMBjt8oF~zLyEdVZJH-lDduMrpPWcb~XbiC54EI60Uaht48W0CGAI8MD8Bjxk6kz8Rx2USW235ppd7WL-2J-IaiF4XN5u1dl3LXyspAHfFoSbBkdwH-QwQH-6~xmQpMWNLKW1fOPq5IOWuX2Oz6IsPfRIqSpifmKUKZk~UbQbImRBm9VMU0xP~B1me7hQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yeadon Borough Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 2025-004 amending abatement, impounding and violations rules and to publish two draft ordinances for public comment: a Master Fee Schedule (Ordinance 2025-005) and a vehicle-tarp ordinance (Ordinance 2025-008).

Council members said the fee schedule action is largely clerical: fees listed in several places in the code are being consolidated to a single Master Fee Schedule for clarity. Solicitor Sean Kilkenny told council staff are exploring broader language that would allow future fee changes by resolution to reduce repeated ordinance advertising.

Council also approved advertising a tarping ordinance that staff said will limit how long a vehicle may be tarped on a public street and will authorize police inspection of tarped vehicles. Meeting discussion specified a 48-hour time limit tied to state guidance; council members stated the version to be advertised will include that limit and clarified that advertising means the draft will be published in the local newspaper for public inspection before a final vote.

All three votes (adoption of Ord. 2025-004 and advertising of Ord. 2025-005 and Ord. 2025-008) were unanimous. Council members said final votes on advertised ordinances will occur at a later meeting after the public comment period. The solicitor noted the advertising step is procedural and that corrected language will be used before publication.","Council adopted Ordinance 2025-004 on abatement and impounding, and voted to advertise a Master Fee Schedule (Ord. 2025-005) and a vehicle-tarp ordinance (Ord. 2025-008) for public review; the tarp draft includes a 48-hour time limit and police inspection authority.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6234766,"Yeadon declares disaster emergency after Crozer Hospital System closure",638,132000,770000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398&start=132&end=770","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410241-e1945f96c39257965681e7aa6c6dc398/thumbnail_132000.jpg","/articles/6234766/Yeadon/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Yeadon-declares-disaster-emergency-after-Crozer-Hospital-System-closure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234766-737e3dae33c29842b269188465a0fcd1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137781&Signature=TnN2GqDsqkBcAUR6FmM8U3dV1fQumbjrg~uCOrdwDw2hQDIRxjTPwaORravCrBmAEXmBx8LKvUFh5cL2Lc-80y8gmMfb9lEetc05btcJImI-4jPPOAMco~IkeoDB-2UT2xSRMGJg1pNQGT13ufe9R0UNG4NvlmXpYSR5J9hBriDeUhvPbQnlpSAJVZf9LZ3Cl4MdoWGCx1NWiovmIWRrje3H8qqMreKzaMkTe89dHoiUWUlUGcthk5EsLwxFkCKZJXA4IzOe~IWDJw3q4-FB45L59vrYLkI~V64aI1dEWtlImXyyd7b14jJrFh8vWYzDOTDD41gOIabCV2Li2loV6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Yeadon Mayor Loretta Evans declared a disaster emergency April 23 after Prospect Medical Holdings notified the public it would close the Crozer Hospital System and terminate emergency medical services, and the Yeadon Borough Council unanimously ratified the declaration.

The declaration, read into the record by Mayor Evans, said in part that the closure “threatens or causes substantial harm, hardship, and suffering to persons and property and threatens to endanger the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Borough of Yeadon.” The mayor cited provisions of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Code (35 Pa.C.S. § 7501) as authority for the declaration.

Council members said the step is intended to preserve options for the borough and surrounding communities. The council’s roll-call vote was unanimous in favor; present members recorded as voting yes were Council President Latoya Monroe, Vice President Liana Roque-Cloud, Councilor Antoinette Truhart, Councilor Nicole Beatty, Councilor Michael Trent and Councilor Jesse Peetz. The council noted that, if federal assistance becomes available because of the declaration, the borough would be eligible to request or receive that aid.

Prospect Medical Holdings announced the planned closure effective 8 a.m. Wednesday, April 23; the mayor and council characterized the closure as a regional disruption to emergency medical services and hospital access. The emergency declaration is time-limited and was described at the meeting as a mechanism to enable emergency management measures and potential external funding; the declaration does not itself create new service contracts or specify federal funding amounts.

Council members and staff said the declaration had been coordinated with other Eastern Delaware County local officials who raised similar concerns about diverted patient traffic to Mercy Fitzgerald and other nearby hospitals. The council ratified the mayor’s declaration during the legislative session and asked solicitor staff to include the formal declaration text in the meeting record.","Mayor Loretta Evans declared a disaster emergency after Prospect Medical Holdings announced the closure of the Crozer Hospital System; Yeadon Borough Council unanimously ratified the declaration to make the borough eligible for federal assistance if available.","actionData","errors"]
