- Solicitor requests: Council approved the solicitor's request to file four petitions for termination of parental rights and two consents for adoption with Orphans' Court.
The meeting record shows voice votes for these items; no roll-call tallies were provided for several votes. In the contract-amendment item, Vice Chair Luther recused himself and the clerk noted an abstention.
