During the meeting, a representative from the Westampton American Legion outlined the Boy State program, emphasizing its role in teaching youth about the duties, rights, and responsibilities of citizenship. The program allows participants to engage in mock government exercises, enriching their understanding of political structures and processes. The council’s decision to potentially fund one participant underscores its continued dedication to fostering civic education and leadership among local youth.

In other business, the council approved the swearing-in of Robert Austin as a police lieutenant.

The council also introduced several ordinances, including one that exempts veterans and active-duty military personnel from registration fees for certain services. This ordinance, part of a broader initiative to support veterans, will undergo further discussion in the next council meeting.

Additionally, plans were discussed for an upcoming Juneteenth celebration, expected to feature various cultural and educational activities. The event aims to commemorate the historical significance of Juneteenth and engage the community in understanding its impact.
