Council approves redevelopment cooperation agreement despite eminent-domain concerns
Summary
Council approved a Redevelopment Authority Cooperation Agreement to enable coordination on potential future blight designations; Councilman Pirolli opposed the motion citing an eminent-domain provision and resident concerns, but the agreement passed 4–1.
Solicitor Russ Sacco summarized a proposed Redevelopment Authority Cooperation Agreement intended to establish a working relationship with the borough should blight designations be pursued in the future.
Councilman Pirolli objected to language he said included an eminent-domain provision and said several residents had expressed concern. Councilman Pearl moved to approve the agreement; the motion carried 4–1 with Pirolli recorded as the lone vote against the measure.
The agreement creates a mechanism for cooperation with the Redevelopment Authority, but council discussion flagged the eminent-domain language as a political and legal sensitivity that may require further community engagement if used.
