State College council adopts changes to Thompson Woods intermunicipal governance
Summary
Council approved a resolution to merge the governance and advisory committees for the Thompson Woods preserves and make advisory members non‑voting ex officio participants, directing staff to update the intermunicipal agreement.
The borough council on April 6 approved a resolution to modify the intermunicipal cooperation agreement for Thompson Woods, merging governance and advisory committees and reclassifying advisory members as non‑voting ex officio members.
Mr. Fontaine (borough staff) explained the proposed change and said it requires an amendment to the intermunicipal agreement. Mike Bloom, who answered council questions, described the governance and advisory committee process and said College Township had already approved the plan at its recent meeting.
Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution; staff said they will post the revised appendices and work with regional managers to clarify definitions and implementation details.
Next steps: staff will finalize the intermunicipal agreement changes and confirm appendices that list which parks are regional, municipal or local for implementation clarity.
