Township completes annual reorganization: officers, representatives and routine resolutions approved
Summary
At its annual reorganization meeting the township approved a slate of officers and multiple resolutions (2025-01 through 2025-23), including appointments for solicitor, engineers, trustees and setting a $3,000,000 treasurer bond; one abstention was recorded on the depositories motion.
The Springers Ferry Township Board of Supervisors completed its annual reorganization agenda, approving a package of routine appointments and administrative resolutions under consecutively numbered resolutions (2025-01 through 2025-23).
Why it matters: These routine actions establish who will serve in key administrative, engineering and fiduciary roles for the year — who can sign checks, represent the township at regional boards, and administer pensions and code enforcement.
What passed: The board approved the following by voice vote unless noted: chair (Mark Swanley), vice chairman (George Dvorak), assistant secretary treasurer (Don Bishop), Board of Delegates (current board members including Charles Wurster), township solicitor (MPL Law Firm, James R. Sanders, Esquire; Resolution 2025-01), civil engineer (First Capital Engineering, John Luciani, PE; Resolution 2025-03), environmental engineer (Boot Card Horne Inc., Diana Young, PE; Resolution 2025-04), township secretary (Dory Bowers; Resolution 2025-05), township treasurer (Theresa Hummel; Resolution 2025-06), vacancy board chair (Jeffrey Lobach; Resolution 2025-07), pension administrative officer (Mark Hodgkinson for both nonuniformed and police pensions; Resolutions 2025-08 and 2025-09), sewage enforcement officer (South Penn Code Consultants LLC; Resolution 2025-10), representative to York Adams Tax Bureau (Theresa Hummel; Resolution 2025-11), representative to the Springettsbury Township Volunteer Fire Company (Robert Cox; Resolution 2025-12), York Area United Fire & Rescue Commission representative (George Dvorak; Resolution 2025-13), local government advisory committee representative (Randall Heilman; Resolution 2025-14), planning commission appointment (Mark Robertson; Resolution 2025-15), Parks & Recreation Board appointments (Sherry Nichols, Nancy McDowell, Sean Georgi; Resolution 2025-16), historic preservation committee slate (Resolution 2025-17), zoning officer designation (John Luciani, First Capital Engineering; Resolution 2025-18), building official appointment (Ray Markey Jr.; Resolution 2025-19), establishment of treasurer bond at $3,000,000 (Resolution 2025-20), approval of bank account signatories (Resolution 2025-21), designation of depositories (Resolution 2025-22; one abstention recorded), and setting the township manager salary at $20.25 (units not specified; Resolution 2025-23).
Board process notes: Most items were presented, moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote. On Resolution 2025-22 (designation of depositories) Unidentified Speaker 6 asked the record to reflect that they abstained on that vote. The transcript records the approvals by multiple 'Aye' responses but does not provide a roll-call tally for each motion.
Related bodies: The Police Pension Board then held its annual reorganization, confirming supervisors as members and appointing Detective Tessa Miller and Corporal Alex Shrift as officer representatives; subsequently the Springers Ferry Township Development Authority confirmed officers and administrative appointments including Mark Hodgkinson as chief administrative officer and Theresa Hunt as financial officer.
Ending: With the slate of annual appointments approved and routine administrative resolutions passed, the board adjourned and the affiliated pension board and development authority completed their respective reorganizations.
