Warrington board selects bond counsel, approves bill list and planning commission appointment
Summary
The board approved hiring Curtin & Hefner as bond counsel (responses ranged $7,500–$25,000), and approved consent items including the bill list and Resolution 2024 R29 appointing Darshan Patel to the planning commission.
The Warrington Board of Supervisors on Sept. 24 selected a bond counsel firm and approved routine consent items including a planning commission appointment.
Solicitor Jeff told the board he solicited eight firms for bond counsel and received five proposals, with prices ranging from roughly $7,500 to $25,000. He recommended choosing a lower‑cost qualified firm. A board member moved to approve Curtin & Hefner (quoted at about $7,500), the motion was seconded and the board approved the appointment on a voice vote.
On the consent agenda the board approved the bill list (checks 1711–1724) and passed Resolution 2024 R29, appointing Darshan Patel as a full member of the planning commission. The consent items were moved, seconded and approved on voice vote.
Why it matters: Selecting bond counsel establishes who will advise the township on borrowing and financing matters; approving the planning commission appointment fills a civic vacancy. The price range referenced by the solicitor provides context for expected counsel fees.
Next steps: Staff were instructed to notify the selected bond counsel firms and effect the planning commission appointment paperwork.
