Haverford Township Board of Commissioners Meeting - November 9, 2026

The Haverford Township Board of Commissioners meeting on November 9, 2026 included several spending and procurement actions. The board unanimously awarded Wilson Excavating and Utility Construction LLC the low-responsible-bid contract for $16,640 to line 1,240 feet of sanitary sewer main at Merion Golf Course; the work is planned for winter. It also approved a $17,940 purchase of 600 recycling cans and lids for the Public Works Department, and approved the auction of 14 township vehicles. A change order for the first phase of the zoning ordinance update, covering additional public-engagement meetings and printed materials, passed with Commissioner McCullum voting no; the change-order amount was not clear in the transcript. The board approved warrant No. 11, covering payroll, fund disbursements, debt service, and a credit-card statement; the warrant’s total was unclear in the transcript. The township auditor reported no irregularities.

The board also approved resolutions supporting Statewide Local Share Account grant applications for Haverford YMCA locker-room renovations and the purchase of two police vehicles. The board clarified that the YMCA resolution was an administrative sign-off for its application and involved no township contribution. Separately, commissioners approved first-reading authority for the township manager, subject to solicitor review, to finalize and enter a lease; the actual lease was not before the board for approval. Other business included public comments on a proposed school expansion, a Native American Heritage Month proclamation, and the board president’s resignation effective November 30. No contract amount or grant award amount was stated for the grant applications.
