Council approves payment to parking consultant after invoicing exceeded original $50,000 authorization
Summary
Norristown council approved payment of an April 2026 invoice from Parking Mobility Transportation Consulting LLC after staff and counsel said the consultant performed work that brought total billing above the previously authorized $50,000; solicitor recommended payment to avoid litigation and council approved closing out the account.
Council reviewed an outstanding invoice to Parking Mobility Transportation Consulting LLC (PMT) that exceeded an earlier $50,000 authorization. Staff and counsel said the consultant had been working under the previous administrator, billed hourly, and that invoices through April 2026 included services performed from January to April; finance flagged the overage and the matter was brought to council for review.
The solicitor said the contractor provided documentation that work had been performed and recommended payment to avoid potential litigation. Council discussed safeguards to prevent future overruns and noted that future consulting work would come back to council as a new contract and amount. The motion to approve the payment passed by recorded voice vote.
