Manchester supervisors vote 3-2 to settle Torres v. Manchester Township
Summary
After an executive session, the Manchester Township Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to settle Torres v. Manchester Township; the board met in executive session to discuss the lawsuit and YAUFR charter negotiations and later approved the settlement with two opposing votes.
The Manchester Township Board of Supervisors voted to settle Torres v. Manchester Township following an executive session held Oct. 14, 2025. The motion to settle, made by Supervisor Debra K. McCune and seconded by Supervisor David J. Chiaverini, passed 3-2 with Chair Rodney K. Brandstedter and Vice Chair Craig M. Miller opposed.
The board met in executive session from 8:07 to 8:48 p.m. to discuss the Torres lawsuit and negotiations over the York Area United Fire and Rescue charter agreement. No further details about settlement terms were disclosed at the meeting. "After adjournment of executive session, Ms. McCune made a motion, seconded by Mr. Chiaverini, to agree to settle the Torres V. Manchester Township lawsuit," the meeting minutes state.
The vote split indicates dissent among board members but the minutes do not specify monetary or non‑monetary terms of the settlement. The board took the settlement vote as an open meeting action immediately after the executive session; no additional public hearing on the settlement was recorded in the minutes. The township manager/secretary, Timothy R. James, is the public contact for township records and any formal records of the settlement are subject to public‑records procedures.
