Board adopts stormwater amendment, updates records policy and approves new IT services and routine contracts
Summary
Perkiomen Township adopted Ordinance No. 243 amending the Stormwater Management Ordinance, passed Resolution 2024-17 to reject anonymous Right-to-Know requests, authorized a Logic Group managed-services IT contract, and approved other routine items including training and an advertisement for snow-and-ice bids.
At its Aug. 6 meeting, the Perkiomen Township Board approved several policy and administrative items including an amendment to the township’s Stormwater Management Ordinance, a revision to its Public Records Access Policy, and a new managed IT services agreement.
Township Engineer Nicholas Szeredai presented Ordinance No. 243, amending the 2022 Stormwater Management Ordinance to remove the Simplified Approach for small projects, adjust permit thresholds, and clarify operation, performance guarantee and fee sections. Dean Becker moved to adopt Ordinance No. 243 and the motion carried 5-0.
Manager Cecile Daniel proposed revising the Public Records Access Policy to state anonymous Right-to-Know requests will not be accepted in line with guidance from the Office of Open Records; the Board adopted Resolution 2024-17 revising the township policy (5-0).
Daniel also recommended contracting with the Logic Group (Collegeville) for full managed IT and cybersecurity services after the township’s previous IT vendor was sold and did not transfer all services. The Board authorized Daniel to sign the Logic Group proposal for managed IT and security services (motion by Dean Becker, seconded by Gary Filzen), citing the need for local, on-site support and increased cybersecurity coverage.
Other routine approvals included authorizing Road Master Shawn Motsavage to advertise the 2024–2025 Snow and Ice Removal bid for consideration at the September meeting, approval for Code Enforcement Officer John Moran to attend three-day fire-investigator training (registration, lodging, meals, mileage covered), and placement of financial reports on file as part of the consent agenda.
The meeting adjourned at the conclusion of the items.
