The Narberth Shade Tree Commission voted to change its October meeting start time from 7:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7, after the borough office reported a room scheduling conflict. The motion passed on a voice vote with no opposition.

Commission members also discussed November scheduling. Because the regular November date falls on election day, the commission agreed to request permission from borough scheduling staff (Maggie Dobbs) to move the November meeting to Wednesday, Nov. 5, and to confirm whether the borough building may be used while voting is underway.

Why it matters: The commission must ensure meeting dates and start times work with borough room availability and with members’ attendance. The change avoids a direct conflict with another meeting scheduled in the same space on the October date; the November date requires confirmation because the borough building will be used for voting.

Details and outcome
- October: Motion to change October 7 start time to 8 p.m. carried unanimously.
- November: Commissioners agreed to ask staff to request moving the meeting to Wednesday, Nov. 5, pending borough scheduling and any restrictions tied to election‑day building use.

Next steps: Staff (Carson Clark and Rick Trelle discussed sending an email to borough scheduling staff) to confirm room availability and to post the updated meeting notice if the change is approved. A follow-up email to commissioners will confirm the November date after borough staff reply.

Ending: The commission formalized the October time change and assigned staff to secure and confirm an alternative November meeting date to avoid election‑day conflicts.
