Another Yardley Borough Council Resignation Expected

YARDLEY, PA —The Borough Council is expected to lose another member —the second in less than a month —at its meeting Tuesday night, borough officials said.

During its meeting, the council is expected to accept the resignation of an unnamed council member, the meeting agenda and the borough's Facebook page states. The council is also expected to name two replacements, according to the agenda.

"Yardley Borough Residents, we anticipate a second vacancy opening up on council in the near future," the Facebook post states. "Should we formally accept the vacancy, we may opt to fill both vacancies from the same pool of applications, as borough code allows, and to reduce disruption to borough business."

Councilman David Bria had attended the council's Aug. 16 meeting and then resigned recently. No reason was provided by borough officials.

Borough Manager Paula Johnson would not disclose any further details prior to Tuesday night's meeting.

Borough officials had extended the deadline to accept council candidates until Friday morning and received five applications. A request for bio information on the applicants was not received.

The council was expected to interview the candidates before naming two replacements at the meeting.

The candidates are:

• Dawn Perlmutter
• Don Carlson
• David Appelbaum
• Earl Markey
• Susan Taylor
