# UD Council/Committee Meeting10/8/26

Upper Darby Township Council meeting, October 7, 2026. Council reported that it had met in executive session before the meeting to discuss a real estate transaction involving a potential property acquisition. Residents and council members discussed possible conservation of the Mazino Forest and the status of the previously tabled mixed-use zoning ordinance; the solicitor said options remain under discussion and that council is proceeding carefully while awaiting clarity from the property owner. No acquisition, contract award, bid approval, or related spending decision was announced. The mayor’s budget message had been submitted to council and posted online, but no budget allocation was discussed or approved in the transcript.

Other discussion included residents’ concerns about rats, trash collection, street conditions, public safety, and recycling. Township officials said efforts to station an EMS vehicle at a local firehouse are ready to proceed, pending the firehouse’s response and approval; no contract or spending action was reported. Council also heard updates on recent police incidents and community activities. No procurement-related vote or action item was identified.
