September 2007 Council Meeting Highlights.
Posted by cmdaly on October 13, 2007
I do not have the draft minutes from the meeting but I can report on what was listed on the agenda. After the usual housekeeping chores (approval of the minutes of our August meeting and the financial report; approval of the bills list, and reviewing the various reports from appointed officials, committees, commissions, etc.
- Council approved advertising an ordinance amending our local code that would require food vendors on borough property to have a food license and to comply with Department of Agriculture rules.
- Authorized payment of Pay Request #1 for $101,736.90 to Devincentis and Sons Construction for our West Street infrastructure project.
- Approved promotion of Mr. Justin Potter, our newest hire, from probationary status to Laborer Class 1.
- And approved a resolution supporting the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and requiring all borough departments and agencies to abide by its regulations.
There was other activity, but I don’t have it in my notes. I’ll need a copy of the draft minutes before I can report on them. I can report the Council engaged in a long and unnecessary (for this meeting) discussion about sewer lines that would have been more appropriate for a committee, not Council.
