Votes at a glance: council approves routine minutes, ordinance advertisements, CDBG award and appointments
Summary
At the July 13 meeting, the council approved consent minutes and reports; authorized advertising ordinances to adjust speed limits and to terminate the water/sewer and recreation authorities; awarded a CDBG curb‑ramp contract and appointed acting police sergeants.
The Bristol Borough Council approved a series of routine items during its July 13 meeting, including minutes and departmental reports, ordinance advertising and several administrative appointments.
What passed: the council approved a motion accepting meeting minutes for June 1, June 8 and July 6 and accepted the treasurer’s May report and departmental reports for June. Members voted to authorize advertising an ordinance to amend certain speed limits (chapter 15), and to advertise ordinances accepting certificates to terminate the Bristol Borough Water and Sewer Authority and the Bristol Borough Recreation Authority — steps the council described as required preliminary actions before state filings and any formal transfers.
Infrastructure and staffing actions: the council awarded the 2026 CDBG curb ramp project to NJS Concrete LLC for $212,800, contingent on Bucks County CDBG program approval, and appointed Officer Gino Nippur and Detective Billy Davis as acting sergeants for patrol squads 2 and 3. Council also authorized the recommended amendment to the water‑system investment policy (Section 11) to broaden duration and maturity discretion for managers.
How votes were recorded: motions were made and seconded and recorded as approved by voice vote in the meeting transcript; the transcript does not include full roll‑call tallies for each motion in every case.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the advertised ordinances’ public‑notification requirements, coordinate required filings with state agencies for authority terminations, and return any required documentation (for example, county CDBG authorization) to the council.
