Finance committee actions: minutes, budget transfers, IU dues, tax liens and rebate resolution advanced to Feb. 20 action meeting

At its Feb. 11 meeting the North Penn School District Finance Committee took several formal steps and voted to advance multiple items to the board action meeting on Feb. 20.

Key committee actions (voice votes unless noted):
- Approval of minutes from the Jan. 7 finance committee meeting (motion carried by voice vote).
- Placement of January budget transfers totaling $219,635.05 on the Feb. 20 action agenda (motion moved/seconded; voice vote carried).
- Approval to place the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit (member services) budget share for 2025–26 on the Feb. 20 action agenda; North Penn’s share was described as $218,592 (approximately a 4% increase over the prior year) and the IU Board had already approved the IU budget (motion carried by voice vote).
- Ratification of 2024 tax liens being forwarded to the Montgomery County Tax Claim Bureau; administration reported 37 fewer properties turned over this year but a $363,762 (23.6%) increase in total delinquent dollars compared with last year (motion to ratify carried by voice vote; full property list to be attached to the Feb. 20 resolution).
- Placement of the district rebate-match resolution (80% match, budget assumption 35% participation) on the Feb. 20 action agenda (motion moved by Mr. Fusco, seconded by Mr. McBain; voice vote carried).

Notes and next steps: Administration will prepare formal resolutions and attachments for the Feb. 20 action meeting, including the detailed tax-lien list. Several motions were approved by voice without roll-call tallies recorded in the meeting transcript; administration will record formal roll-call results at the action meeting as required for official minutes.
