Solicitor Colleen Marsini from the firm of Kilkenny Law, the township law firm, confirmed Hayman’s view that the vote is legal because the change is part of internal council business, so it did not have to be on the agenda. He added that there were also her repeated falsehoods and fixation on conspiracy theories that brought the vote. In an interview Thursday, Hayman said errors in work by Wentz in preparing the multiple ARPA ordinances that were on the evening’s agenda was an example. He noted the vote did not have to be on the agenda because there are no costs involved in the vote, only an administrative change. The vote came near the end of the two-hour meeting Wednesday night when council member Andrew Hayman requested the reorganization of the vice president position. The vote came moments after council, in President Brian Burke’s description “came together,” and unanimously agreed to approve $2.8 million in spending of federal American Rescue Plan Act funds. Due to the rapid growth of the area we are kept quite busy.In a surprise move, Upper Darby Township Council removed Laura Wentz as vice president in a narrow 6-5 vote.
