City of York council approves routine minutes, claims and cash balances; approves federal street classification map and declares surplus property
Summary
At its July 17 meeting the City of York council approved the July 3 minutes, approved a $9,755 claim by Tony North, approved claims for July 4–17 and June cash balances, approved a national functional classification map for roads in the urban area boundary, and declared library books and a pickup as surplus under Resolution 2025‑14.
The City of York council on July 17 approved several routine administrative and financial items and took actions on a transportation classification map and surplus property.
Minutes and financials: The council moved and approved the minutes of the July 3, 2025 meeting. It approved one claim by an elected official — Tony North of North Printing and Office Supply, $9,755 — and then approved claims covering July 4 through July 17, 2025 after the finance committee reviewed them. The council also approved department activity reports for June 2025 and the city’s cash balances for June 2025.
Transportation classification: Staff presented a national functional classification map for streets inside the York urban area boundary (a Census Bureau boundary that extends beyond the city limits). After staff explained why specific streets were classified as collectors or arterials (for example, 35th Street collects traffic from county areas), the council moved and approved the classification map; staff noted the national classification is reviewed approximately every 10 years and classifications themselves do not automatically change funding eligibility.
Surplus property: By motion and second, the council approved Resolution 2025‑14 to declare certain city property surplus (library books and a pickup) as part of the quarterly cleanup process.
Ordinances: Council heard the second reading of Ordinance 2397 (amending chapter 34 on assemblies, parades and processions) and directed staff to clarify permit‑denial language and the clerk’s role for third reading. The council also held a first reading of Ordinance 2398 (mobile vendors/food trucks) and discussed exemptions for vendors authorized by other public entities and possible event‑ or location‑based permit approaches; staff will draft clarifying edits for a future meeting.
