Delaware County (Pa) Council, May 1, passed first readings of ordinances that would extend the Delaware County Solid Waste Authority until Jan 1, 2074. The extension is needed for the authority to incur debt said County Solicitor Jonathan Lichtenstein.

In other business, the Council passed 33 consent items including an application to the FY2r Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to combat Human Trafficking in the amount of $750,000 for three years from Oct. 1, 2024 through Sept. 30, 2027; and to accept $748,500 HealthChoices Reinvestment dollars from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for the implementation of the Integrated Clinical Services Team.

Council appointed Mathew McGlaughlin and Jamal Johnson to the Economic Development Oversight Board to a term ending March 31; Councilwoman Christine Reuther to the Economic Development Oversight Board for a term ending March 31; and Sustainability Manager Rebecca Yurkovich to serve on a temporary basis as designee to the Board of Sustainable Energy Partnership of Southeast Pa in case of the unavailability of the appointed board member and the county sustainability director.
