Summary
The Narberth Finance & Administration Committee voted 3-0 on a set of routine items including payment of scheduled bills ($608,928.52), recommending authorization of capital projects (security cameras), approving grant and resolution submissions, final certificate payments (including a $7,500 quantity adjustment on a sidewalk contract), and accepting the Planning Commission annual report.
At its Feb. 17 meeting the Narberth Finance & Administration Committee cleared a package of routine fiscal and administrative items, approving or recommending them to full council by unanimous votes (typically 3-0).
Key votes at a glance: - Approval of Jan. 13, 2026 committee minutes (approved 3-0). - Motion to pay scheduled bills totaling $608,928.52, including a $300,000 pass‑through check to contractor ROCON for bridge work (the borough records the outlay but treats it as reimbursed by the state); vote 3-0. - Recommendation to authorize capital projects to be forwarded to council, including interior and exterior security cameras and related installation using existing infrastructure; recommendation 3-0. - Recommendation to submit Resolution 2026‑05 (MontCo 2040 grant for Elmwood pedestrian bridge); recommendation 3-0 (covered in a separate article). - Recommendation to approve Resolution 2026‑04 (Police Advisory Committee membership cleanup); recommendation 3-0. - Certificate for Payment #2: stormwater bump‑out project (no change) and Certificate for Payment #2: sidewalk project, which includes an additional ~$7,500 owed to the contractor due to a quantities error tied to an approved scope change; staff said the money was owed for work already approved and payment will close the project; payments approved to close projects. - Acceptance of the Planning Commission 2025 annual report (accepted 3-0).
Staff repeatedly confirmed the borough is following prior approvals and that the sidewalk quantity adjustment reflects an accounting/quantity error rather than unapproved work. Several motions were moved and seconded by unnamed committee members in the meeting record and carried unanimously.
Next steps: Items recommended to council will appear on the council agenda for final action; staff will make required notifications to affected property owners and close out final payments as authorized.
