Committee reviews $15,000 allocation for Williamsport Government Study Commission; further spending to require council approval
Summary
Committee members said $15,000 has been allocated for the Williamsport Government Study Commission and that the commission will be able to piggyback on city livestreaming and legal services; council members deferred broader discussion to the full council meeting Thursday.
The Committee discussed a resolution authorizing use of budgeted funds and city resources for the Williamsport Government Study Commission. Committee members said the commission requested $15,000 — funds the city had already allocated — and that any additional disbursement beyond that amount would require council approval.
Councilman Milikin said he attended the initial home rule commission meeting and noted two consultants had presented: Katherland and the Pennsylvania Economy League. Councilman Yoder described the $15,000 as an oversight provision and said the commission would piggyback on the city's existing livestreaming contract and legal services to support the consultants. Several members said fuller discussion should occur at the full council meeting Thursday, when Councilwoman Mey will be present.
No vote was taken by the committee; members signaled the issue will receive a fuller hearing at the next council meeting.
