Board approves organizational slate, consultants and routine resolutions in Jan. 6 meeting
Summary
At its organizational meeting, Easttown supervisors re-elected leadership, approved staff and consultant appointments, authorized several resolutions (including payroll signature policy and temporary outdoor dining), and authorized advertisement of a communications advisory board ordinance.
The Easttown Township Board of Supervisors completed organizational business and approved a series of routine motions on Jan. 6, 2025, including elections, staff and consultant appointments, and several administrative resolutions.
Officer elections: The incumbent chair said they were willing to continue and the board approved the chair’s reappointment by voice vote. The board then moved to appoint Sean as vice chair; a motion and second were recorded and the appointment carried by voice vote (no roll-call tally in the transcript).
Staff and consultant slate: The board read and approved a slate of staff and appointments: Township manager/secretary/treasurer (Don), assistant manager/assistant township secretary (John), director of finance (Colleen Gray), director of planning, and director of public works (Joe Roto). The board also approved incumbent consultants including municipal solicitors, labor counsel, township engineer (Brady Flarty), planner/landscape architect (Tom Kamida), traffic engineer (Chris Williams), building code official (Rob McAren/TST Municipal Services), human-resources consultant (Rosanne McGrath), and auditor (Carl Hogan).
Routine resolutions: The board approved a resolution authorizing checks to bear two signatures (and discussed a potential future move to an in-district bank), adopted a resolution setting the treasurer’s bond (cost historically about $4,500), and approved a resolution establishing emergency service coverage; staff described these as largely procedural and consistent with prior practice.
Temporary outdoor activities: The board approved a resolution extending temporary outdoor restaurant, retail and commercial activities (a follow-on to prior temporary-dining approvals), noting the board can later shorten or modify the extension or adopt permanent zoning standards.
Communications advisory board: The board authorized advertisement of an ordinance to create an Easttown Township Communications Advisory Board with flexible term staggering and Sunshine/Right-to-Know compliance; the board asked staff to be prepared for possible revisions.
Voting method: Most actions were passed by voice vote during the meeting; the transcript records motions and vocal assent but does not provide numerical vote tallies for these routine items.
