Council moves to advertise ordinance adjusting boards and commissions membership; vote outcome not recorded in transcript

At the Jan. 15 Narberth Borough Council meeting members considered an ordinance described in the record as 'ordinance 10 68' to adjust membership of several borough boards. The ordinance as discussed would increase the number of planning commission members, decrease the membership of the Environmental Advisory Committee, and add an alternate member to the Parks and Recreation Board.

An unidentified staff member explained that the item had been authorized for advertisement previously but was not advertised because of recommended changes to add the Parks & Recreation alternate. ‘‘We actually had never authorized or we you authorized it, but we never actually move forward with the advertisement for this,’’ the staff member said; the staff member asked that if council authorized advertisement that night, the ordinance would be advertised for consideration and final adoption next month.

A motion to authorize advertisement was made and seconded; the presiding official called the council to vote, saying, "So we are voting to authorize ordinance 10 68 with the changes that were made, last month. All those in favor?" The transcript does not record the result or a roll-call tally for that vote.

Separately, the council approved the consent agenda items a–d earlier in the meeting. An unidentified council member moved approval of the consent agenda and another seconded; the presiding official recorded the vote as unanimous.

The transcript provides no ordinance text, ordinance number formatting beyond the spoken phrase '10 68,' or recorded roll-call results for the ordinance advertisement; the article does not infer any outcome beyond what the record contains.
