Matamoras council tables intergovernmental cooperative agreement for joint comprehensive plan over unclear cost split
Summary
The council tabled approval of an intergovernmental cooperative agreement for a joint comprehensive plan after members said the agreement lacks a clear breakdown of cost-sharing; the RFP was estimated at about $110,000 with $60,000 already granted.
The Matamoras Borough Council on April 14 declined to approve an Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement tied to a joint comprehensive plan, instead tabling the item until the agreement can clearly state cost-sharing percentages between Matamoras and Westfall Township. Council members and the Planning Commission reported an estimated RFP cost of about $110,000; a $60,000 grant has been received toward the effort.
Council member Jon Maney moved to table the agreement, citing discomfort with approving terms before financial responsibilities were explicit. Planning Commission Chair Dave Osczepinski and Pike County planner Mike Mrozinski were reported as having met to discuss the effort; the minutes note that if additional grant funding is not awarded the historical split discussed previously would have been 75% Westfall and 25% Matamoras.
The council asked for clearer language on funding breakdown or contingency conditions before reconsideration. No vote to authorize the comprehensive plan work was taken at this meeting.
