Votes at a glance: committee recommends bills, accepts two resignations, forwards HARB certificate
Summary
The Finance & Administration Committee recommended approval of the monthly bills to council, recommended accepting resignations from the Shade Tree Commission and the Industrial Development Authority, and recommended approval of a HARB certificate (Resolution 2261) for council consideration; all recommendations passed by recorded voice vote.
The committee recorded the following formal recommendations and votes during its May 18 meeting:
- Schedule of bills (general and capital funds): committee moved to recommend council approval after members reviewed routine monthly and quarterly charges; motion passed (voice vote recorded as three to nothing). The packet item lists the full check list; the meeting discussion did not establish a single clarified dollar total in the transcript.
- Shade Tree Commission: committee moved to recommend acceptance of Rick Trillies's resignation and recognized his roughly 10 years of service; recommendation passed three to nothing.
- Industrial Development Authority (IDA): committee moved to recommend acceptance of Dana Edwards's resignation from the IDA; members discussed replacement qualifications (finance, accounting, public finance) and confirmed the authority's quorum status; recommendation passed three to nothing.
- Resolution 2261 / HARB certificate of appropriateness: committee recommended that council approve the certificate of appropriateness as recommended by the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB), "subject to HARB's proposed changes," and passed the recommendation.
The committee noted that these are recommendations to borough council; final approval for ordinances, resolutions or appointments rests with the full council at a later meeting.
