Another topic was the idea of conducting a local census to improve the borough’s financial standing. The council considered hiring high school students for the task, potentially increasing funds available in the municipal budget. The conversation included the possibility of utilizing technology, like iPads, to streamline the process, though concerns about the diminishing returns of software investments were raised.

Additionally, the council addressed the issue of unregistered dogs in the borough, with a suggestion to waive late fees temporarily to encourage compliance. This measure aims to increase registrations and ensure that residents contribute to the cost of maintaining local animal shelters.

Lastly, the council explored food security initiatives and the importance of community engagement in addressing local needs. Discussions included leveraging existing resources, such as church freezers, and conducting a needs assessment to identify gaps in food distribution services.
