- Meeting Overview:
The Lake Como Borough Council meeting, which included the town’s centennial celebration, also featured significant fiscal and administrative announcements. The council introduced the 2024 budget, which includes a notable decrease in the tax rate. Additionally, a part-time code enforcement officer was appointed, and plans for the upcoming ABC meeting addressing liquor licenses were discussed.
During the meeting, the council’s introduction of the 2024 budget commanded considerable attention. The announced drop in the tax rate from 453 to 437 represents a fiscal decision that directly impacts residents.
In terms of administrative action, the appointment of Frank Nell as a part-time code enforcement officer was another focal point.
The centennial celebration was both a historical acknowledgment and a forward-looking event. The joint legislative resolution received from Senator Singer’s office and proclamations presented to community contributors underscored the borough’s rich heritage and communal spirit. The mayor’s recounting of the town’s history since its formation in 1924 provided context and continuity to the current governance and community initiatives.
Council members reported on multiple initiatives, including upcoming summer activities and park maintenance. The engagement and gratitude expressed towards the community for its involvement, particularly the organizers of the Lake Como Mommy and Me Playgroup and the volunteers of the town’s fire and first aid departments, emphasized a sense of shared responsibility and achievement.
In preparation for future events, the council also addressed the town’s regulatory measures by discussing plans for the ABC meeting, which will focus on the management of liquor licenses.
The meeting concluded with an invitation to continue the centennial festivities at McAn’s, an event hosted by the mayor, further entwining the administrative proceedings with the community’s celebratory mood.
