Supervisors approve minutes, HARB certificate, bills and routine zoning referrals
Summary
At the June 24 meeting the board approved the minutes (with one abstention noted), granted a certificate of appropriateness for 203 North Sycamore conditioned on HARB memo, approved payment of $168,921.53 in bills and the Bucks County fuel bid, and approved sending a Wrightstown rezoning map amendment to the jointure for a public hearing.
The Newtown Township Supervisors handled several routine but formal actions during their June 24 meeting.
Minutes and minor approvals: The board moved to approve the minutes of June 10, 2026; one supervisor stated they would abstain and the motion passed. The board also approved a HARB‑recommended certificate of appropriateness for renovations at 203 North Sycamore (former Guru restaurant), conditioned on compliance with HARB's June 10, 2026 memo.
Finance and procurement: The supervisors approved payment of June 24 bills totaling $168,921.53 and transfers of $2,423.93, and approved the 2026–27 Bucks County fuel bid on the consent agenda.
Zoning referrals: In addition to forwarding the JMZO data‑center amendment, the board voted to send a Wrightstown‑only rezoning map amendment (to correct split zoning created by a subdivision) to the jointure to advertise a public hearing. Four zoning hearing board applications were scheduled to be heard July 2; the supervisors chose not to take positions on those applications.
Why it matters: These votes complete procedural and administrative steps that keep township planning, finance and historic‑preservation activities moving; the HARB decision and zoning referrals are part of public‑notice and review processes required by local codes.
