Crafton Borough Council recorded three formal actions during its July meeting: approval of the consent agenda, authorization to sell three retired borough vehicles via online auction and approval of real-estate tax refunds totaling $5,525.87.

The consent agenda motion covered the council minutes from June 26 and the bill list dated July 10 and was approved by voice vote. A council member moved and another seconded; council recorded an affirmative voice vote and declared the motion passed.

On Resolution 2025-11, council authorized the borough to sell three retired vehicles—a 2011 Ford F-550 dump truck, a 2008 Ford F-550 dump truck and a 2013 Ford Interceptor—through an online municipal auction. Council said trade-in values had been obtained and the auction reserve will be set at or above those trade-in values. The motion passed by voice vote.

Council also approved real-estate tax refunds totaling $5,525.87 for three properties after successful appeals; staff explained the refunds resulted from reassessments processed through Jordan tax appeal procedures.

Votes and actions

- Consent agenda (minutes of June 26 and bill list dated July 10): approved by voice vote; no recorded roll-call tally in the minutes.

- Resolution 2025-11: authorized sale of three borough vehicles by online auction (2011 Ford F-550 dump truck; 2008 Ford F-550 dump truck; 2013 Ford Interceptor). Motion passed; reserve values to be set at trade-in values.

- Real-estate tax refunds: approved payments totaling $5,525.87 to reimburse property owners after appeal.

Why this matters: these actions clear routine administrative business, free municipal assets for disposal and reimburse taxpayers after appeals—typical municipal finance and asset-management steps.

Provenance: the consent-agenda motion and vote appear in the council meeting record when the chair asked for a motion and received an affirmative voice vote; Resolution 2025-11 and the tax-refund approvals were introduced by borough staff and passed with council voice votes.
