Council appoints two alternate zoning hearing board members amid split roll-call votes
Summary
Council appointed Diane Harris and Dorothy Lynne Thomas as alternate Zoning Hearing Board members; both appointments passed despite recorded No votes from Councilors Stockley and Williams, and at least one roll-call count in the minutes contains an internal inconsistency.
Darby Borough Council voted on two appointments to serve as alternate members of the Zoning Hearing Board.
Councilor Davis moved (seconded by Dr. Thompson) to appoint Diane Harris; the minutes record a roll-call vote and state "Motion carries 6-1. Councilors Stockley & Williams voted No." The same pattern recurred for a subsequent appointment of Dorothy Lynne Thomas; the minutes record "Motion carries 6-2. Councilors Stockley & Williams voted No." The transcript language shows an inconsistency in the roll-call tally for the first appointment: the listed yes/no counts do not align with the named dissenters. That discrepancy is recorded in the meeting minutes and is noted for clarification by borough staff.
Both appointees will serve as alternate members of the Zoning Hearing Board. Councilors Stockley and Williams publicly registered their opposition to the appointments during the roll-call votes. The appointments will be reflected in borough records and the zoning board roster maintained by the borough manager.
