Council approves grant application and hires FHI for comprehensive-plan work
Summary
Council unanimously approved applying for a Pennsylvania Municipal Assistance Program grant to fund a 10‑year comprehensive plan and approved a contract with FHI for comprehensive‑plan services; the amount stated on the record for the FHI contract was given as not to exceed $103,500.
Council voted to apply for Pennsylvania Municipal Assistance Program funding to hire a consulting firm to develop a 10‑year comprehensive plan and then approved a contract for comprehensive‑plan services with the consulting firm FHI.
President pro tem Washington moved to approve the grant-application resolution for the municipal assistance program; the motion carried unanimously. Council then approved a contract with FHI "in an amount not to exceed $103,500" as read during the motion. The record contains an earlier, inconsistent dollar figure when the item was introduced, but the motion as carried named the higher figure on the record.
Councilmembers described the comprehensive plan as a long‑awaited effort that will involve a steering committee and public engagement; the approval sets the borough up to pursue grant funding and to begin the planning process. No detailed scope-of-work beyond the FHI contract was read into the minutes during the Feb. 20 meeting.
