The next council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at 3700 Old Philadelphia Pike.
Its agenda lists business items to include calls to officially accept the resignation, as well as discuss the search for someone else to fill the role.
The past few months
Mark Freed was another official to call it quits recently, after he was appointed township solicitor at the turn of the year.
He served the township for just over two weeks.
Steven Goudsouzian currently is working as township solicitor in an interim capacity.
The new council majority leans Democrat, 3-2. The former panel held a Republican majority until the most recent election.
Over the past few months, meetings have been lengthy, with a notable one, Feb. 7, surpassing the 3 a.m. hour.
Councilman Thomas Carocci called deLeon a “gavel Nazi” and “Vladimir deLeon” a number of times at the Feb. 21 meeting, which lasted nearly four hours.
The panel has kept business moving, though, with recent approvals to pursue settling pending litigation with the Hellertown Area Library, and a finalization of the 2024 budget after it was volleyed a number of times between two different administrations.
