[6:28] » [applause]
[6:55] » Okay, now that the oaths of office are
complete,
[6:58] um, as township manager, I'll offer a
few brief remarks. Um, I want to talk
[7:03] about trust in public service. Um, it
comes down to doing the little things
[7:08] that we say we're going to do and doing
them when we say we're going to do them.
[7:12] At the local level, we believe
predictability is a public service. In
[7:17] 2025, Hford Township adopted its budget
on time. We reached a successful
[7:23] collective bargaining agreement and we
did so with a uh modest and responsible
[7:28] tax increase grounded in long-term
planning. It reflects a strong
[7:33] partnership. The board of commissioners
sets the policy and direction and the
[7:39] manager and the staff over here.
We carry out that direction efficiently
[7:45] and transparently.
I want to thank our staff for turning
[7:49] policy into service every day.
Local government is also unique. It's
[7:56] the only level where residents can truly
reach out and touch us. It's that
[8:00] closeness that creates accountability.
It keeps us focused on results.
[8:05] Do we always get it right? No. But we
listen to our residents. We adjust and
[8:11] we keep moving forward.
It's not about Rs and D's. It's about
[8:16] delivering the services residents expect
in the most cost-effective way possible.
[8:22] With that, with that, let's reorganize
and we're going to get back to work. And
[8:27] so, we'll now accept nominations for
president of the board of commissioners
[8:30] for calendar year 2026.
>> Mr. Township Manager,
[8:34] » Commissioner Holmes.
>> Uh, Mr. Township Manager, I move to
[8:37] nominate uh fourth W Commissioner Judy
Trombetta to serve once again as
[8:41] president of our board of commissioners.
And I'll second.
