Lansdale work session approves check warrant; council will pay bills
Summary
Council voted at the May 7 work session to approve the check warrant—authorizing payment of borough bills—after committee members reviewed the warrant list and the president opened the motion to public comment; no opposition was recorded.
At the May 7 Lansdale Borough work session, Council approved the check warrant authorizing payment of borough invoices after the president opened the motion for questions from council and the public.
Councilwoman Carrie Oglesby moved the approval. The council president asked if there were any questions from council members or the public; seeing none, she called the voice vote. "All those in favor, Aye." The president then asked, "Any opposed? Motion carries," and directed that bills may be paid the following day.
Council members discussed briefly the committee practice of reviewing bills earlier in the process so members have "eyes on the bills" before payment, and noted the work session is an unusual setting for a vote because it lacks a formal public-comment period prior to voting; one council member suggested opening the motion for public comment, which the president did before the vote.
