Narberth Borough Council approved Resolution 2025-02 to reappoint existing members and confirm a set of professional consultants and volunteers to borough boards and commissions, while noting several vacancies created by resignations and non-reappointments.

Council also adopted Resolution 2025-01 commending Jim Cornwell for 18 years of service on the planning commission, including 11 years as chair. Council members praised Cornwell for his role in the borough's historic-preservation and form-based zoning efforts; Cornwell accepted the recognition and spoke briefly.

Staff summarized appointments and reappointments: the planning commission alternate was moved into the main seat created by Cornwell's resignation, and a new application filled the alternate slot. Council and staff agreed to leave one HARB (Historic Architectural Review Board) seat vacant to ensure a planning commission member can be placed on HARB as required. Staff listed outstanding vacancies on several advisory bodies including the Environmental Advisory Council, Human Relations Commission, Industrial Development Authority, Parks and Recreation Board, Police Advisory Committee and UCC Appeals Board alternates.

Council amended the appointments motion on the record to remove one proposed HARB appointment so a slot remains available for a planning commission representative. The full slate and consultant affirmations passed by unanimous voice vote. Staff will post vacancies and continue recruitment.

The actions formalize several reappointments and identify the vacancies that staff will advertise for future recruitment.
