The ordinances 23-17 and 23-18, which targeted the clarification and revision of the borough officers’ and employees’ codes, were at the forefront of the council’s agenda. Mayor Amy Wilczynski, council members Susanne Lovisolo, Edward O’Connell, Matthew O’Toole, Tyler Yaccarino, and Joseph Daloisio were all present. The only absentee was Councilwoman Liz Homan.

Mayor Wilczynski led the discussion on several contracts and pending business, highlighting progress on borough projects. A notable mention was a residential development project nearing completion, with 70 units set to be available for rent by early next year.

The mayor also noted infrastructure upgrades by PSSE PSNG and Viola. The mayor extended appreciation for the residents’ patience during the upgrades, acknowledging the inconvenience that such projects can cause.

Endorsement of a resolution for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for senior housing roofing was another key issue addressed.

The council president reported on potential changes to the borough’s committees.

The council also introduced the new Department of Public Works superintendent, Andy, symbolizing a new phase in the borough’s public works management.

During the public comment period, residents brought up various concerns, including a potentially hazardous tree in Bor Park and the need for additional street lighting at a specific location.

One resident introduced a creative waste reduction initiative: gathering and composting pumpkins after Halloween.

Finally, a high school junior expressed interest in interning at the police station, a proposal welcomed by the council.
