every resident who voted in this year's general election um I want to congratulate everyone that put their name on the ballot uh win or lose um it's hard work a lot of time gets put in and there's always sacrifices by candidates um I have a very special congratulations to our council president Michael Timberman on his re reelection and to our councilwoman Ashley rice on her election to the council um Ashley has been serving since her appointment in January and I look forward to continuing to work with both of you on the and the rest of the government in body in 2024 um I do have one comment on the election um there was an article in the newspaper yesterday about the voting machines I know that we had a couple of issues here in Emerson and I'm glad that the county is taking a good hard look at what went on here um I know that I had an experience myself where an A blank ballot came out I know that we were running very short on paper and thinking that we were going to actually run out of paper in one of the um polling locations as well as there being a couple of glitches and maybe not enough training everything that was pretty much um written in the article so I'm glad the county is taking a better look on that and um we had a lot of these problems and we only had a 39% turnout of our um registered voters in Emerson so next year is a presidential election last year we had I believe it was 79% and we were the second highest turnout in the county during our general election and I don't think we were any anywhere near that this year with a 39% so next year you need to make a plan to vote because if we have these same machines we want everybody to have the opportunity to vote we don't want anybody um waiting for long periods of time um so we'll give more information on that going forward back in in November next year but just really glad that the uh county is taking a serious look on the voting machines um the mayor and Council and American Legion post 269 held our annual Veterans Day ceremony on Saturday November 11th at the senior center fittingly it was a beautiful day with about a 100 residents in attendance to honor our veterans those veterans who attended stood up during the ceremony and gave their names military branches ranks and years of Duty so that we could probably recognize their service at the conclusion of the ceremony everyone enjoyed delicious donated treats um foods and beverages they were donated by the fresh grosser Duncan Stu Leonard's Goldberg's Bagels and rol's bakery um we truly appreciate all of the donations that came for our veterans to enjoy and it was um really a beautiful poignant ceremony um the idell Emerson Rotary Club will be holding a food drive on Saturday December 9th from 9:30 to 2:30 p.m. at vul Liber Funeral Home in ell Personal Care items as well as supplies um for Ukraine are particularly needed the Emerson Police Department is holding its 35th annual PBA toy drive please drop off new unwrapped toys at the Emerson Police Department no later than December 17th um you may have noticed that the Emerson Police Department community policing unit is growing out their beards from November to uh end of December to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society any member of the public wishing to donate can drop off checks at the Emerson Police Department please make your check pay aable to the burrow of Emerson burrow Hall will be closed on Thursday and Friday in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday um the burough will be holding our annual Christmas tree lighting on Sunday

congratulations to you too as well for your reelection that's great news um so just updating you guys first on the the road program so things are moving along the concrete work has been completed on the roads that we're doing as well as the drainage improvements um right now um we're scheduled to begin Milling uh just after Thanksgiving on Monday the 27th uh we anticipated taking about five to six days um they're trying to push everything into the five-day window but it may roll into the following week uh Cent shop uh as far as the overall schedule um what I have here is that they're going to be Milling Franklin Court leak court and Adams court on Monday the 27th uh the paving of that street should be uh on the 30th um Chestnut Street between Overlook and Grand Boulevard that'll be done on the 27th as well for the Milling uh with Paving taking place on the 30th um Grand Boulevard Lincoln Boulevard to um Vivian that'll be on the 27th and the 28th uh with Paving taking place on the 30th um Park Avenue from Grand Boulevard to Spruce will take place on November 28th uh with Paving taking place on December 1st uh Douglas Street Heartland Avenue to Sanford uh that'll be a two-day thing from uh 1128 to 1129 for milling and then Paving on December 1st uh andwood Drive uh Pine Drive to Eagle Drive that'll be on the Milling will take place on the 29th with Paving on uh December 1st and then the last Street which is Bruce Avenue which is a portion of it um but it's between a and Park Avenue um that's from that'll be take place on 1129 for the milling and Paving on 121 now obviously this is all weather dependent uh because originally they were actually going to start uh this week however with the rain today they decided to hold off on that so that the roads would not be left in a m condition over the uh the holidays and we are very grateful for that the streets that affect the school is there any way to coordinate with the contractor to start Milling after say drop off yeah we'll have to work out the the specific time frames I know they've been in discussions with the police department um as far as their schedule and different time periods I just want to um emphasize the contractor is supposed to notify the residents correct and my understanding is that the notices a portion of them went out today the remaining streets will be uh dropped off tomorrow so everybody should have been noticed before Thanksgiving before the start of the work okay um and is it a we should post this that these are tentative dates on our uh burrow Facebook page and website absolutely so that everybody knows because this is a significant list um and I also just want everyone to know that as far as the um Rave um night reverse phone calls happen when it's concerning a street or an emergency situation that comes from the police department if it has to do with um General burrow information it generally comes out of the clerk's office so um some people are signed up for Twitter just for the police department and you are the people that are going to be getting um the notices about these road closures and um I just wanted to point that out but we will post this list on the website so that everyone can review it and be sure that they know if for some reason the contractor um missed their house it flew away something like that yeah unfortunately I mean they're not supposed to put them in the mailboxes so sometimes people may not get them or somebody gets it and doesn't give it to the other person in the household and the police also put up like the white posters the white and red posters the no parking so that's usually another clue that something's happening yeah and don't see that and I mean and tell your friends and neighbors if you got a notice just be sure that if your neighbor if you see them out and you're wishing them Happy Thanksgiving that everyone's aware it's a team effort to make make sure everybody knows and it's patience because as we've you know we know that it with Mother Nature Anything could happen right so we're just asking also for patience on this we we will the roads get done they will be fantastic then afterwards and we well we know that we had a blip with a contractor a couple of weeks ago on mwood and the administrator immediately went out and I jumped on it and you jumped on it I and we rectified it very quickly the person had been notified di but right it was a late notification so we just want to make sure that everybody is aware of these streets so thank you for reading them all sure yeah and and just to iterate I mean as far as road closures during the the construction operations we will be closing the roadways down um during those time periods um the residents can get in and out as you know if there's an emergency or whatever needs to happen with that right they're never completely cut off from their homes correct correct and they have access to their house it just may not be during the paving operation primarily um they won't be able to drive on the fresh pavement because is the set up so that oh and the most important thing if you need to get out of your house or get into your house what you need to do is call the police desk and a police officer will assist you either getting out or getting into your um home in terms of you know speak coordinating it with the gentlemen that are doing the work right and the contractor's information should be with their notice that they received as well so if they need anything from them as well um they're there and then um our office will be on site during the the construction operations as well whatever needs to be so so just wanted to update on that um the dot did make announcements as far as their uh Grant award for the fiscal year 2024 minutes belade um so the bureau um has submitted for Park Avenue phase two um so those limits are really from Spruce Avenue which is where we're Paving up to uh this year up to the municipal boundary um so the dot awarded the the burrow a grant in the amount of $186,900 project is funded through a Community Development block grant um just to see what we could potentially do um to kind of help reduce some of the cost on the project as well as U meet their timetable so we're looking into um the bur entering into a uh Cooperative program um where these projects for the pump station have already been bid through the state contracts um which should give us um potentially some lower costs for the material as well as help speed up the process um so we can meet the timetable so um believe that your next meeting will'll be looking to potentially enter into um into that Cooperative program there is no cost to the burrow to be part of the program um but like I said it provides some potential cost savings on products and once you're in that um you know if there's any other um items that are needed for your pal stations in the future which we're hoping not for a long time being that we're upgrading everything but in the future if there's anything that's needed and it's in that Cooperative program BR is able to participate in the qu savings so we're looking to all that stuff to uh move things forward on that um and I think that is all that I have is there anything else that I may have missed Rob the mayor mentioned mwood we did do some work up in mwood uh which I think is very going to be very beneficial in that area we found some things up there I mean you could want to yeah so on um so your Public Works director during the um as we started into the construction process um had brought to our attention there were some issues with some of the drainage infrastructure on mwood Drive um so as part of the the project we ended up replacing some of the drainage pipe over there um as they were removing the old pipe you found there was a lot of roots and different debris and stuff in there so uh we're hoping by replacing with new pipe that'll help with some of your drainage issues that you've incurred over in that area so so our drainage pipe has roots in it yes the one did yeah fortunately trees like to find their way to water absolutely so thank you for that reminder okay Rob do have a report um first uh we were we had uh we finished up the solar the roof on the library our brand new roof was put in uh we are now finishing up the solar panels we're
