Council approves hire of full-time officer, certificates of appropriateness and routine motions
Summary
The council approved hiring Tiffany Winnick as a full-time police officer effective July 1, 2024, followed voice-vote approvals for two HARB-recommended certificates of appropriateness and routine minutes and expenditure-report actions.
The council approved a motion to hire Tiffany Winnick as a full-time level-one police officer for the Newtown Borough Police Department effective July 1, 2024. The motion was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided.
Earlier in the meeting the council moved to follow the recommendations of the Historic Architectural Review Board and approve two certificates of appropriateness: a 32-inch projecting sign proposed for 2011 South State Street and replacement of roof and fascia on the rear roof of a second property. The HARB recommended approval in both cases; final administrative approval was delegated to the code enforcement officer.
Councilmembers also approved several procedural items by voice vote: minutes from May 8 (work session), May 14 (council meeting) and May 23 (special council meeting). The council voted to accept, subject to audit, the consolidated expenditure report for May totaling $643,902. Each of those motions passed with “all those in favor” voice votes; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
No amendments or dissenting recorded votes were reported for the motions captured in the meeting minutes.
