What this means

The proposed work would update existing ordinances to reflect the Township’s transition to a manager-and-council form of government; the committee clarified that this is ordinance amendment work, not codification of a new unified code. No consultant or contract price was selected. A prior estimate discussed at the meeting projected 410 hours at $120 per hour, or $49,200, with a not-to-exceed amount of $51,200, but future RFP respondents will set their own prices.

Key decisions

Follow the major takeaways from this briefing.

Set December 31, 2026, as the proposed completion deadline for the Administrative Code consultant’s work.
Use the term amendment of ordinances rather than codification to describe the planned updates.
Remove personnel-rules drafting from the RFP.
Revise the RFP to state that the Township, not the committee, will issue it and receive proposals.
Finalize the RFP for the July 2 committee meeting, when members plan to vote on whether to recommend it to the Township for the July 14 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Create the public email address transition@millcreektownship.com for resident questions and a future Frequently Asked Questions resource.
Arrange a presentation by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Local Government Policy Manager at the next committee meeting.
Have a committee member contact the Erie County Board of Elections about preparations for new Council positions expected on the 2027 ballot.
