Whitpain approves $4.3M voucher list, including $2.3–$2.4M in escrow releases to Wissahickon School District
Summary
The Board approved a preliminary December 2025 voucher list totaling $4,304,247.42; Township Manager Eric Traub explained the unusually large amount reflected several escrow releases to the Wissahickon School District totaling approximately $2.3–$2.4 million. The Board also authorized administrative finance measures including petty cash, depositories, payroll signing authority, and a two‑year extension of the Township Manager's contract.
The Whitpain Township Board on Jan. 5 approved the preliminary December 2025 voucher list totaling $4,304,247.42. Township Manager Eric Traub said the amount was significantly higher than typical because it included several large escrow releases to the Wissahickon School District totaling approximately $2.3 to $2.4 million, which had appeared on prior agendas.
The Board also authorized a two‑year extension of the Township Manager’s employment agreement through Dec. 31, 2027 (approved as part of the consent agenda), set the Treasurer’s bond at $1,000,000, and authorized payroll and check-signing procedures for 2026. The Board confirmed petty cash balances for select departments (Finance $425; Public Works $250; Police $250) and named TD Bank, Univest Financial Corporation and PLGIT as township depositories.
Chair Scott M. Badami called for public comment on the voucher list and there were none; the motion to approve the voucher list carried unanimously.
What happens next: staff will process vouchers and publish finalized payment records; escrow release documentation appears in the voucher backup and will remain part of the township’s financial record.
