The discussion of the water infrastructure sale took precedence in the meeting, as public comments reflected residents’ apprehension. A resident named Steve R. sought clarity on the topics listed under new business, particularly the consideration of selling the town’s water infrastructure.

While the sale of the water infrastructure was a focal point, the council also moved through several ordinances without notable public input or council objections. Ordinance 2024-25, aimed at aligning the Borough’s stormwater control regulations with updated state management rules, was presented. Ordinance 2024-3 proposed amendments to fire inspection fees for non-life hazardous uses, and ordinance 2024-4 sought to authorize third-party pay distribution for the borough’s administration. Each ordinance underwent a second reading and public hearing, but no public comments were made.

Beyond ordinances, the council tackled resolutions concerning the functioning and services of the borough. They appointed a Deputy Municipal Registrar and discussed the borough’s participation in the state’s Cops in Shops program, which is designed to prevent underage drinking. Additionally, a contract was awarded for the installation of a pole barn.

As part of the borough’s administrative housekeeping, the council addressed the certification of the annual audit and the status of a corrective action plan related to the 2022 Municipal audit report. The adoption of a memorandum of understanding regarding emergency medical services was also on the agenda.
