Colwyn council approves multiple appointments and routine measures; several motions pass with little discussion
Summary
At its Jan. 9 special meeting Colwyn Borough Council approved a slate of appointments and procedural items including solicitor, engineer and banking signatories, recorded votes for each resolution, and set a Jan. 15 follow‑up legislative meeting; two personnel motions were tabled for further review.
Colwyn Borough Council met in special session at 2:00 p.m. Jan. 9 and approved several administrative appointments and routine procedural items, according to the meeting minutes. Resolutions recorded as passed included the appointment of the borough solicitor (Resolution 2026‑2), borough engineer (2026‑3), special labor counselor (2026‑9), designation of banks and authorized signatories (2026‑12) and an intent to amend the 2026 budget (2026‑13).
The minutes show each motion with mover and seconder names and vote tallies. For example, the motion to appoint the borough solicitor was made by “Councilor Council” and seconded by “Vice President Oberly” and is listed with a unanimous yes vote in the record. The minutes list the next legislative meeting as Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026.
Several personnel and contract items received limited comment or were tabled: the motion to appoint a borough treasurer contains mixed vote tallies and an inconsistent entry in the minutes ('Motion Passed NO'), and two motions were explicitly tabled (Code Enforcement, Resolution 2026‑6; Part‑Time Secretary, Resolution 2026‑11). The minutes contain no extended debate for the passed items.
Officials present at roll call included President Williams, Vice President Oberly, Councilor Goldsmith, Councilor Hawkins, Councilor Johnson, Councilor Nibblins (participating by phone), Mayor Maurice J. Clark, Sr., Borough Manager Nafis Nichols, Engineer Michael Galante and Solicitor Ken Schuster.
