During the Citizen Input and Response portion of the June 24 meeting, resident Joe Hessom spoke about a separation agreement with the township's previous solicitor; the transcript records his comment but does not provide specifics of the agreement or response from the board. Another attendee, Mike Korns, said he had been opposed to hiring the previous solicitor on numerous occasions.
The board moved from public comment into an action appointing a new solicitor, Brian Farrington of Charlton Law. Chairman Jamie Morabito and other supervisors said the change was driven by the township's increasing needs; the transcript does not record further discussion of the separation agreement nor indicate any settlement terms or personnel paperwork presented at the meeting.
