Votes at a glance: council adopts solicitation ordinance, sells backhoe and endorses Moravian Manor financing; internship named

At its meeting, Lititz Borough Council approved several ordinances and resolutions that staff said are primarily administrative or procedural.

Ordinance C‑626: The council passed Ordinance C‑626 to tighten vetting of solicitors and to clarify that applicants with significant criminal records may be denied. Chief Han described the change as giving borough staff clearer authority; fee levels will be set separately by borough resolution.

Resolution 1036 (backhoe sale): Council approved the online sale of a 2008 Caterpillar public‑works backhoe.

Resolution 1037 (Moravian Manor financing): Council endorsed tax‑exempt financing for Moravian Manor’s phase‑three project, saying the action enables better borrowing terms for the continuing‑care community and does not affect borough taxation.

Resolution 1038 (fees): Council amended Chapter 55 to allow the borough to reinstate and adopt labor and equipment fees through resolution (rather than ordinance), creating a schedule for fees charged for municipal services.

Appointment — mayoral intern: Council approved a part‑time unpaid summer internship in the mayor’s office and appointed Izzy Wolf, a rising high‑school junior, to the position effective July 1, 2026. Wolf told council she is interested in law and local government and will assist with community outreach and communications.

Consent agenda and finance: The consent agenda passed and council approved a routine MS4 invoice after a member recused. The treasurer reported fund balances are sufficient for current operations.

All votes described above were taken by voice vote; roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
