Votes at a glance: Yeadon council approves minutes, personnel actions, parking changes and policy updates
Summary
At its January meeting the Yeadon Borough Council approved previous minutes, terminated an employee, adopted parking ordinance amendments, approved a mobile‑device policy, amended accounts payable to remove a $750 reimbursement, and took other administrative actions; one handicap parking appeal was denied and another approved.
The Yeadon Borough Council took a series of administrative and policy votes during its January meeting.
Approved items included the 12/11/2025 caucus minutes and the 12/22/2025 legislative minutes. Council voted to terminate employee number 10282 (effective 12/23/2025). The council voted to advertise ordinance 2026‑001 (an amendment to borough code article 4 regarding the historical commission) and approved a mobile‑device policy for council members and borough employees.
On accessibility appeals, the council denied a handicap parking permit for 156 Fairview Avenue after the police chief reported on off‑street parking and garage availability under ordinance 172‑3. The council later approved a separate appeal for 976 McDade Boulevard after a councilor relayed that the resident had held a permit for more than a decade.
Financial actions included a vote to approve the January 2026 accounts payable list with an amendment removing a $750 reimbursement to Anthony Patterson (GL 342.200) pending more information. Council also voted to remove Raffy Cave and Latoya Monroe from borough bank accounts and to table consideration of a separate separation agreement (employee 10184) because it involves personnel matters.
Council also adopted amendments to ordinance 285‑30 to establish overnight special‑purpose parking zones (1st Street, 800 Laurel, 800 Arbor) and to prohibit parking at all times on a portion of Elder Ave to improve emergency vehicle access. Votes were recorded by roll call when requested; the minutes list individual yes/no/abstain responses for each motion.
