Chester council amends agenda to add $9,039 change order and create property-maintenance appeals board
Summary
At its May 12 deliberative meeting, the City of Chester council voted to amend the agenda to add two resolutions: a $9,039 change order for a road marking correction and a resolution establishing a three-member appeals board under the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code.
The City of Chester council amended its May 12 deliberative meeting agenda and approved two added resolutions: one authorizing a $9,039 change order for a road-marking correction, and another creating a three-member International Property Maintenance Code appeals board.
Council member Silas Rivera read the items onto the agenda and identified the first as a change order involving Lanai Electric Corporation for work at Route 291 and Jeffrey Street. The resolution as read says the change order is required because the work “failed PennDOT inspection due to the absence of, quote, unquote, contrasts in the arrow marking in the road,” and authorizes the proper city official to execute the $9,039 change order.
The council also added a separate resolution to establish an International Property Maintenance Code appeals board pursuant to Section 111.2 of the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code. The resolution directs that the council appoint three members “qualified by experience and training” who are not city employees; it specifies that the code official will serve ex officio but will not vote on appeals and that appointed members will serve staggered, overlapping terms.
Both additions were approved by voice vote after motions to amend the agenda and to add each resolution; the meeting record shows the voice vote returned “Aye” and the mayor stated the motion passed. No roll-call vote counts were recorded in the transcript.
The appeals-board resolution sets a formal process for hearing property-maintenance disputes under the adopted International Property Maintenance Code; the change-order resolution authorizes a small, specific payment to a contractor to correct a PennDOT-identified marking issue.
Neither resolution was considered for final passage during the deliberative meeting; the mayor and council indicated the listed resolutions would return for final passage at the regular meeting later in the week.
The council did not name the individuals to be appointed to the appeals board during the deliberative meeting.
Ending: The council concluded consideration of the added items after the votes and proceeded to other agenda matters. The two added resolutions will appear again for final action at the council’s regular meeting later in the week.
