Lower Gwynedd supervisors elect chair, approve appointments and set $3 million bond
Summary
At the Jan. 5, 2026 organizational meeting, Lower Gwynedd Township supervisors elected Daniel Duncan chair and Morski vice chair, approved administrative, consultant and commission appointments and routine resolutions, and set the townships assurance bond at $3,000,000. Minutes approval included one abstention.
The Lower Gwynedd Township Board of Supervisors held its organizational meeting on Jan. 5, 2026, where the board completed its swearing-in ceremony, elected leadership and approved routine administrative and financial items.
The township solicitor, serving as chairperson pro tem, opened nominations for board leadership. A supervisor nominated Daniel Duncan for chair and the nomination was seconded and carried by voice vote. Another supervisor nominated Morski for vice chair; that motion was also seconded and approved by voice vote. The solicitor said, "I have the honor as brief as it may be of serving as ... chairperson pro tem for the sole purpose of requesting nominations for the position of the chair of the board of supervisors." A supervisor who moved the chair nomination stated, "I nominate Daniel Duncan as chair." (Attributions are to recorded speakers in the meeting transcript.)
The board approved in omnibus motions the administrative appointments listed C1C13, consultant appointments listed 18, and board and commission appointments E1E10 as published in the meeting packet; no board questions or public comments were recorded on these items. The board individually considered and approved routine organizational resolutions: Resolution 20262 (2026 holidays for non-uniformed employees), Resolution 20263 (approved depositories), Resolution 20264 (authority to execute and pay payroll and specified invoices between meetings), and Resolution 202605 (text or purpose referenced in the packet but not specified in the transcript). All passed by voice vote as recorded in the meeting.
The board approved the townships assurance bond amount at $3,000,000, citing the Lower Gwynedd Township code (referenced in the meeting as code 2305) and the Pennsylvania Second Class Township Code (referenced as Section 702). The township manager noted the statutory citations and confirmed the $3 million figure; the motion carried by voice vote.
The board also approved the Jan. 5 invoice report and the Dec. 9, 2025 meeting minutes. The minutes vote included one abstention that was recorded on the record. No members of the public spoke during the public comment period, and supervisors used the supervisor-comments portion of the meeting to offer congratulations to newly sworn officials and thank volunteers.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn carried by voice vote.
Meeting notes: where the transcript differed in spelling or phrasing (for example, multiple instances of "Lower Gwenned" or "lowerwinned"), this article uses the standardized municipal name "Lower Gwynedd Township." Several items (notably Resolution 202605) are referenced by resolution number in the transcript but lack a descriptive text in the recorded segments; those items are reported here by number with the note "not specified" where the transcript does not provide further detail.
