September 20 Delco desk: no new material action found
Election-board and tax-sale deadlines remain ahead; County Council’s September 16 outcomes still require an authoritative vote record.
By DELCO Online News Daily Desk · ·
What changed
No new material countywide action or emergency update was posted in the official records reviewed September 20.
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 upset 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 20, 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 September 16 County Council portal continues to show the agenda, packet, attachments and recording, but no September 16 minutes. This desk has not verified final action or roll calls on the borrowing ordinance and major contracts.
- The September 22 Board of Elections agenda remains unchanged. It identifies mail and absentee ballot reports, a Lower Chichester drop-box removal item, and proposed polling-place changes in Aston, Darby Borough, Radnor, Springfield, Upper Darby and Yeadon. No Marple or Newtown polling-place change is listed.
- The Tax Claim Bureau’s current list remains the September 17 revision for the September 24 auction. Properties may be removed before sale; inclusion is not proof of a completed sale.
- The county press-release index still lists September 16 as its newest release. The environmental-health alert page remains updated through September 8; its newest entries 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. County borrowing and contract coverage still 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 upset-sale list immediately before September 24?
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 comparison.
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 vote.
- September 24, 10 a.m.: scheduled upset sale; recheck the official list.
- Next reporting checks: September 16 Council minutes or an authoritative vote record and any updated health or emergency notice.
