Council approves temporary appointment of borough zoning officer effective July 7
Summary
Forest Hills council voted by voice to appoint Krista N. Watt as borough zoning officer effective July 7, 2026; the clerk said the appointment is temporary and the council gave no roll-call tally in the transcript.
The Forest Hills Borough Council approved a motion by voice vote to appoint Krista N. Watt as the borough zoning officer effective July 7, 2026.
Council President moved the appointment during new business and Council member Bacon made the motion on the floor. After a brief question about whether the appointment was temporary, Crystal Watt, the borough clerk, said, “As of right now, it is temporary,” confirming the limited nature of the appointment as stated in the meeting.
The motion passed on a voice vote; the transcript records members saying “aye” and the president announcing, “Motion carries,” but does not provide a roll-call tally or recorded dissent. The council did not add further conditions in the meeting minutes.
The appointment follows the departure of the prior zoning official, which the council said had left permits pending that the new appointee will manage. The clerk said the temporary appointment is intended to allow permits to be processed and signed while the borough evaluates longer-term staffing.
The council scheduled its next regular meeting for July 15, at which any further personnel decisions could be considered.
