The auction of the municipal property on Glade Road emerged as a significant topic due to the strategic implications for the borough’s infrastructure. The council deliberated on the condition of the road. The proposed solution involves auctioning the land with the stipulation that the purchaser would be responsible for paving the road, thereby improving access for emergency services and potentially reducing response times.

During the meeting, the council also touched upon the successful completion of the trout fishing contest, thanking the Department of Public Works and the community for their active participation. This event highlights the council’s engagement with recreational activities that foster community spirit and appreciation for local natural resources.

The Economic and Environmental Commission’s effort to secure a grant was another point of discussion. In a related vein, the council acknowledged the appointment of a new member to the Recreation Commission, likely to bring fresh perspectives to the community’s recreational planning and activities.

Further emphasizing the council’s focus on community engagement, updates from the Tri-Bur First Aid Squad, the library, and the senior center were provided. The library is embarking on a community history project in anticipation of its centennial celebration.

The council also addressed municipal affairs, including the upcoming introduction of the budget, pending ordinance changes, and the improvement of Orchard Street’s sidewalks and drainage.

Several ordinances underwent their second and final reading, followed by a public hearing. These ordinances pertained to municipal fees for police duty, stormwater control requirements, and shade trees—key pieces of legislation that impact the borough’s public services, environmental stewardship, and community aesthetics. Additionally, the council moved forward with the adoption of a salary ordinance, a necessary measure for the official determination of municipal compensation structures.

The council also adopted a resolution for the payment of bills, a routine yet essential function that ensures the borough’s financial obligations are met promptly. The authorization of public land sale was another critical administrative action taken during the meeting, although specifics regarding the land in question were not detailed.

Looking ahead, the council made note of upcoming community events, including a town and river clean-up day, the Memorial Day Parade, and the townwide garage sale. These events are part of the borough’s tradition of fostering a clean, vibrant, and connected community. Distribution of mulch for residents was discussed, a service that supports local gardening and landscaping efforts.

In the realm of public safety and awareness, the council mentioned that May would be recognized for motorcycle safety awareness and older Americans month. The borough plans to highlight these themes on its social media channels.

Concluding the session, the council announced the date of the next workshop meeting.
