Board supports manager volunteering to help with YAFRA collective bargaining
Summary
Supervisors discussed offering township manager Mark to join bargaining for York Area United Fire and Rescue (YAFRA) as several fire contracts expire in 2024; board members supported his participation and noted the Alfa board must approve the bargaining team composition.
The Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors discussed the township manager’s potential role in the upcoming collective‑bargaining process for York Area United Fire and Rescue (YAFRA). Several 2024 contracts for participating municipalities expire this year, and the board said additional professional resources would be useful.
A supervisor noted that Manchester Township’s manager traditionally leads negotiation for that municipality and proposed Mark — the township manager — lend his experience to the Springettsbury team. Board members praised Mark’s negotiating work and agreed he could be a helpful addition. One supervisor said the Alfa (YAFRA) board would ultimately need to approve the bargaining team.
No formal authorization or contract was executed at the meeting; supervisors indicated the next step is to bring a recommendation to the Alfa board for approval of the bargaining team composition.
