This change, aimed at diversifying the types of activities permissible in specific districts, involves amending the local zoning code to accommodate these spaces. The ordinance was passed unanimously.

Infrastructure improvements were another key focus, with a contract awarded to DS Meyers Enterprises for the 2025 road improvements program. The contract, valued at over $1 million, is expected to fund significant roadwork projects that will enhance the borough’s infrastructure. The council expressed satisfaction with the competitive bidding process that resulted in seven bids.

Additionally, the meeting included updates on various ongoing projects, such as the paving and drainage work on Beach Street and Sylvan Avenue. The council was briefed on the successful cleaning of storm sewer lines, which had been obstructed by significant silt accumulation, contributing to local flooding issues. The improved drainage capacity is anticipated to alleviate these issues significantly.

The council also addressed a revised ordinance to establish a handicap parking space on Santiago Avenue and amendments to the fire department uniform allowance. Both measures were passed without dissent.
