Delaware County Council Duties & Powers
Delaware County Council
Our Council meets at 8:00 p.m. on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
Council workshop meets at 7:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month.
Powers of Council
The Council of the Borough shall have power:
(1) To create, by motion, ordinance or resolution, and appoint a treasurer, a secretary, a solicitor, an engineer, a street commissioner and such other officers as it deems necessary. The treasurer and the secretary shall not be members of council. A bank or bank and trust company may be appointed as treasurer. All officers and employees appointed by the council, with the exception of those who under the provisions of this, or any other act are under civil service or have a definite term of office, shall serve for an indefinite term at the pleasure of the council.
(2) To mitigate or remit fines and forfeitures in reasonable cases.
(3) By resolution, to make temporary loans on the credit of the borough in anticipation of taxes to be collected, and to issue certificates of indebtedness therefor. All such loans shall be repaid from the first moneys available from taxes in anticipation of which the same were made.
(4) To appoint and revoke the appointment of one or more depositories for borough funds and to fix and approve security to be furnished by any such depository. Such security may be bonds with corporate or individual securities to be approved by council, or collateral security consisting of obligations of the United States or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any political subdivision thereof, deposited with the borough or with any bank or trust company within the Commonwealth of a market value of one hundred twenty percent of the amount of the deposit to be secured. Any deposit of collateral shall be under proper agreement and be accompanied by proper assignment or power of attorney for the transfer of the collateral. The borough treasurer shall deposit all borough funds in any depository so designated, and when so deposited, the borough treasurer shall be released and discharged from further liability on account of such deposit. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require a depository to furnish bond or collateral security to cover the amount of any deposit to the extent that the same is insured with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(5) To secure such indemnity bonds or policies of insurance as it may deem necessary to protect the borough from loss by reason of fire, flood, windstorm, burglary, larceny, negligence or dishonesty, insolvency of a depository, or otherwise, and to pay for such protection the usual or customary costs.
(6) To (i) make investment of borough sinking funds as authorized by the act of July 12, 1972 (P.L.781, No.185), known as the "Local Government Unit Debt Act"; (ii) make investment of moneys in the General Fund and in special funds of the borough other than the sinking funds as authorized by Article XIII of this act; and (iii) liquidate any such investment, in whole or in part, by disposing of securities or withdrawing funds on deposit. Any action taken to make or to liquidate any investment shall be made by the officers designated by action of the borough council. ((6) amended Nov. 2, 1979, P.L.458, No.94)
(7) To provide by ordinance passed by a two-thirds vote of the entire number of members of council elected, for the appointment of an independent auditor who shall be a certified public accountant, registered in Pennsylvania, a firm of certified public accountants so registered or a competent public accountant or a competent firm of public accountants. Where such an ordinance has been so adopted, an independent auditor shall be appointed, annually, by resolution before the close of a fiscal year, to make an independent examination of the accounting records of the borough for such fiscal year and such independent auditor shall also perform the other duties and exercise the powers as conferred upon him by subdivision (k) of article XI of this act. When an independent auditor is appointed as herein provided, the office of elected borough auditor or controller, as the case may be, is thereby abolished although the borough auditors, or controller, then in office shall continue to hold their office during the term for which elected and the borough auditors or controller shall not audit, settle, or adjust the accounts audited by such independent auditor but shall perform the other duties of their office. Whenever any borough has provided by ordinance for the audit
of its accounts by an appointed auditor, the borough shall have the right at any time to repeal said ordinance, and thereupon
the office of appointed auditor shall be abolished, as of the date set in such ordinance and said borough shall have the further right at the next municipal election following the repeal of said ordinance to elect three auditors, one for a term of two years, one for a term of four years, and one for a term of six years, from the first Monday of January succeeding such election, which auditors so elected shall succeed the appointed auditor and shall have and possess all the powers and perform all the duties provided in this act for elected auditors. If at any time after the effective date of any such ordinance abolishing the office of appointed auditor, there shall be a vacancy in the office of elected auditor, council shall fill such vacancies in the manner prescribed in section 901 of this act. ((7) amended June 25, 2001, P.L.651, No.56)
(8) To make, authorize and ratify expenditures for lawful purposes from funds available therefor or from funds borrowed within legal limits.
(9) To pay authorized expenses incurred by elected and appointed borough officers in connection with their duties or other borough business.

Love Is A Bridge
Love is a bridge
February 15th, 2012You have probably seen a bridge before; haven’t you? Well bridges are usually there with a purpose. A bridge will get you to the other side of somewhere if you choose to take it. Or you can use another way. You can always justify why you need to go another way; its shorter, quicker, easier or I just felt like it; the scenery is better or whatever. When a bridge is neglected it usually shows up in appearance or performance.
If you aren’t aware(here’s a clue) I am writing metaphorically referring to the bridges in your life. We all have them. Some people choose to try and carry the wreckage of their past within. Sometimes the weight of the past catches up and will weigh you down. Nobody else needs to know. Do you have a bridge (your own or someone elses’) that affected your life a long time ago that you are still trying to patch up or carry with you? We all do. Did you forget all about it? Your subconscious didn’t. It just got buried somewhere in your soul. Out of sight out of mind. Not really. It doesn’t work that way.
The power of the past can either make you better or make you better.You can choose to face it or run like hell. It will always catch up with your insides at some point in time. Life is like a highway with lots of detours to get us to be able to see ourselves and one another clearer and with love. Life can help us to face our true selves which isn’t always pretty like the faces we show one another until we get to the other side to see the beauty in the broken places where we can cross the bridge and get to “the peaceful place within.”
“Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.”- Henry James
Have a beautiful day!
