Borough Council is seeking two local students to serve as Junior Councilors as part of Yeadon’s participation in the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs’ Junior Council Person program. Participants must be high school students in 11th or 12th grade, residents of Yeadon, and willing to serve a one-year term.
The objective of this program is to help our youth understand how local government works and help make decisions that are necessary to govern. The Junior Councilor(s) will learn critical skills including team building and collaboration, public speaking, public engagement, budgeting, and running effective meetings. It will also allow the student(s) an opportunity to deliberate on issues that are affecting his or her community. As a result, the Junior Councilor(s) will be able to explain to their peers what municipal government is all about, and, in turn he/she will provide Yeadon Council with a perspective that is seldom seen in government – and that is the ideas and thoughts of our youth in our community.
Delaware County Council has contracted with Tyler Technologies Inc. to provide real property appraisal services for the County’s 2020 general reassessment. The reassessment which was ordered by the Court in March 2017 will be effective for the 2021 tax year. The project, which is being implemented through the County Treasurer’s Office will utilize Tyler’s appraisal and street imaging services.
During the initial phase of this project Tyler will provide the County with detailed, high-resolution street level images beginning in December 2017. Tyler will photograph properties from inside white vans which will be clearly marked. The images will only be taken from the street and Tyler staff will not enter private property. The reassessment project includes data gathering, verification of data, establishment of assessed values and an opportunity to appeal.
The digital images will improve the quality of visual data used by the County and Tyler appraisers. The project will also allow verification and correction of address discrepancies. Additionally, the images will be helpful for emergency management recovery reports, necessary for state and federal assistance.
Tyler staff will be in Delaware County throughout the reassessment process, concluding in 2020. During the duration of the project Tyler will be in communication with the County, providing county officials and local law enforcement updates on current collection locations and expected duration.
To alleviate any privacy concerns images will not be taken of homeowners and/or children. For further information, residents can contact the County Treasurer’s Office: 610-891-4879.
