Board adopts Comcast cable franchise ordinance 2-1, later authorizes manager to execute agreement
Summary
West Bradford’s Board adopted Ordinance #26-03 authorizing a cable franchise with Comcast of Southeast Pennsylvania on a 2-1 vote; the board separately authorized the township manager to execute the franchise agreement in a unanimous vote.
The West Bradford Township Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance #26-03 on May 12, 2026 to authorize a cable franchise agreement with Comcast of Southeast Pennsylvania, LLC, in a 2-1 vote, and then separately authorized the township manager to execute the agreement in a 3-0 vote.
Member Kevin Houghton moved to adopt Ordinance #26-03; Mr. Hines seconded. The adoption motion carried 2-1, with Mr. Hines recorded as the lone no vote. Later in the same agenda the board approved a motion authorizing Township Manager Justin Yaich to execute the franchise agreement; that authorization passed unanimously on a motion by Mr. Houghton, seconded by Mr. Hines.
The meeting record does not include the ordinance’s text or the franchise’s financial terms; the transcript records the board’s votes and the ordinance designation (#26-03). Meeting minutes and the township’s files should contain the full ordinance text and the executed agreement once finalized.
The two separate votes — adoption of the ordinance and authorization to execute the agreement — indicate the board took both the legislative step (adoption of the ordinance) and the administrative step (manager authorization). The record shows a single recorded no vote on the adoption motion; no public comment on the franchise action was recorded during this meeting.
