Council greenlights multiple contracts, professional engagements and financing steps
Summary
At its Nov. 25 workshop Mount Penn Council authorized several contracts and professional engagements, including a service agreement with Safety Net Sanctuary, a $400 feral cat contract with No‑Nonsense Neutering, acceptance of the Teamsters agreement, and an engagement letter with PFM for financing advice; the borough also discussed seeking a TRAN of approximately $600,000.
Council approved several administrative contracts and professional engagements during the workshop.
Contracts approved include an animal-control services agreement with Safety Net Sanctuary (revised to address indemnification concerns) and a No‑Nonsense Neutering contract to sterilize and vaccinate 10 feral/free‑roaming cats at $40 per cat for a total of $400. The Teamsters collective bargaining agreement, amended to clarify that HRA contributions will be employer-only to comply with IRS regulations, was also adopted unanimously.
On financing, the borough discussed pursuing a Tax Revenue Anticipation Note (TRAN) of approximately $600,000 to finance roadwork while awaiting state grant reimbursements expected in January. Public Financial Management (PFM) is advising as a courtesy; the borough reviewed an engagement letter with PFM and authorized execution of that engagement (Solicitor flagged ambiguous fee language but noted understanding that it covers reimbursement for costs). Stephens and Lee will handle DCED filing for a fee. Council authorized the PFM engagement and the various contracts by unanimous vote.
