Resident questions bills list as board approves $514,773.49 in payments
Summary
The board approved payment of $514,773.49 in bills and $34,854.47 in transfers after residents sought easier access to the bills list and asked about a $33,500 boiler invoice and $79,000 ISIT charge.
The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors approved payment of bills dated July 22, 2026 totaling $514,773.49 and transfers of $34,854.47. During public comment John Mack, who identified himself as "John Mack, Newtown Township," asked why the bills list was not linked in the agenda and called attention to a $33,500 invoice for replacing a building boiler and a $79,000 ISIT charge that he said appeared to include a high monthly inspection fee; he said he filed a Right‑to‑Know request for the invoices.
The board moved and seconded the consent agenda item and took public comment before voting. Chair (S1) called for the ayes and the motion passed. Mack said he had previously identified a similar boiler charge earlier in the year (about $25,000) and asked whether two boilers had been replaced or whether invoices were duplicated; he said he had submitted a Right‑to‑Know request to obtain the supporting documents.
