By DELCO Online News Daily Desk · ·
What changed
No new material County Council action or countywide emergency update was posted in the official records reviewed September 19.
Current status
No new material action found. September 16 County Council outcomes remain official outcomes not yet verified by this desk. September 22 election items are proposals—not adopted changes. The September 24 tax sale is scheduled—not completed.
Responsible body and meeting date
Delaware County Council; Delaware County Board of Elections; Tax Claim Bureau; Delaware County Health Department.
Daily review: September 19, 2026. Board of Elections: September 22 at 9 a.m. Upset sale: September 24 at 10 a.m.
How they voted
No recorded vote.
What the record says
- The County Council portal for September 16 still provides the agenda, packet, attachments and recording, but no September 16 minutes. This desk has not established the final action or roll calls on the borrowing ordinance and major contracts from those materials.
- The Board of Elections agenda for September 22 includes mail and absentee ballot reports, a Lower Chichester drop-box item and proposed polling-place changes in Aston, Darby Borough, Radnor, Springfield, Upper Darby and Yeadon. They remain proposals until the board acts.
- The Tax Claim Bureau’s current published list remains the September 17 revision for the September 24 auction. Inclusion is not a record of a completed sale, and entries may be removed before the auction.
- The county press-release index shows no release newer than September 16. The environmental-health alert page remains updated through September 8; its newest records are West Nile-positive mosquito samples—not human cases. No newer countywide emergency warning was located.
Why it matters
Election administration and tax-sale deadlines have immediate consequences, while county debt and contract reporting requires confirmed final action rather than agenda language.
“Why?” questions officials should answer
- Why is removal of the Lower Chichester drop box proposed, and what alternative access would be available?
- What exact amendments and roll calls accompanied County Council’s September 16 debt and contract decisions?
- Which properties remain on the final tax-sale list immediately before the September 24 auction?
Comparable prior decisions
No materially comparable prior decision identified.
Consistency review
No discrimination, misconduct or unequal access is alleged. Proposed election changes require reasons and final votes before any comparison is drawn.
Deadlines and what to track next
- September 22, 9 a.m.: Board of Elections meeting in the County Council Room, Media; track each motion and exact vote.
- September 24, 10 a.m.: scheduled upset sale; recheck the official list.
- Next reporting checks: September 16 Council minutes or authoritative vote record and any updated health or emergency notice.
