Votes at a glance: Yeadon council adopts historical commission amendment, approves separation agreement and advances multiple ordinances for advertisement
Summary
Council adopted an amendment establishing the Yeadon Borough Historical Commission, approved a separation agreement for an employee, and voted to advertise ordinances on commercial inspections, snow removal, rental inspections and Knox boxes; a request to issue borough devices to two councilors was tabled.
At its meeting, Yeadon Borough Council recorded several formal actions:
- Historical Commission (Ordinance 2026-001): Council adopted an amendment to Article 54 creating a seven-member Yeadon Borough Historical Commission, setting four-year terms and member qualifications. Motion carried on roll call.
- Separation agreement (employee #10184): Council approved the full separation agreement presented by the solicitor; one councilor abstained. The personnel matter was discussed in executive-session context and managed by the borough solicitor.
- Device authorization for two councilors: Council considered authorizing borough-issued electronic devices for two councilors but voted to table the request pending confirmation there are no outstanding balances owed by the requestors and to allow for separate votes if necessary.
- Finance items: Council approved the February accounts payable list, additions to the accounts payable list, and the January 2026 cash-balance report; motions carried after recorded roll calls.
- Ordinances advertised for public comment (motions carried): • Ordinance 2026-004 — industrial and commercial property use and occupancy inspections and annual fees; • Ordinance 2026-005 — proposed amendment to exterior property / snow-removal (24→12 hours) (advertised to collect public comment); • Ordinance 2026-006 — rental-unit inspection changes (inspect entire complexes rather than a capped portion); • Ordinance 2026-007 — require Knox boxes on commercial properties for emergency access.
Votes and recorded notes: most motions carried with roll-call votes recorded by the clerk; where recorded votes were noted as 'No' or 'Abstain' in the transcript, the article records that a councilor objected or abstained rather than inferring counts not reported on the record.
Next steps: advertised ordinances will be published for public comment and returned to council for formal hearings or adoption; staff will confirm outstanding balances before reconsidering the device authorization.
