Government Transition Advisory Committee Meeting 6/18/2026

The Millcreek Township Government Transition Advisory Committee met on June 18, 2026, primarily to discuss the development and procurement process for an administrative code and related codification of ordinances as part of the township's government transition. The committee reviewed a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) intended to solicit bids from municipal law firms and consulting groups to assist with drafting the administrative code, which will define the powers and duties of the township manager and amend existing ordinances to align with the new government structure. They debated the timeline for completing this work, with some members advocating for an accelerated schedule to have the code ready before the upcoming primary election, while others expressed concerns about rushing the process. The committee also discussed budget considerations, potential grant opportunities to offset costs, and the importance of involving the township solicitor in reviewing the work. They planned to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that the RFP be sent to several identified firms and consultants, including the current township solicitor's firm and others with municipal law expertise. Additionally, the committee addressed communication strategies, including setting up a dedicated email for public inquiries and posting finalized documents on the township website. No formal votes on procurement were recorded, but the committee aimed to finalize the RFP and present it to the supervisors for approval at their next meeting.
