Resident Chris Burke of 501 North East Ave inquired as to why the minutes were
not updated on the website. Clerk Karen L. Sweeney responded that the minutes
are up-to-date on the new borough-managed website.
Mr. Burke also asked about shared services with other towns. Mayor Capaldi
indicated the borough will always investigate shared service options to see if
they will benefit the borough. The mayor mentioned that we actually did a study
on the municipal court system and it turned out that it did not benefit the
borough. We currently have share services regarding Trash Collection,
Construction Code Enforcement, the Joint Insurance Fund, the purchase of Salt
via the County, as well as washing of borough-owned vehicles. Councilman Howard
indicated we will explore all Shared Services options. However, sometimes
although it sounds good on paper, there is no real savings for the borough.

Adoption of Agenda JD/CH ALL IN FAVOR
OPEN TO PUBLIC CH/RF
Resident Frank Washart, 2 Pine Lane, requested council to consider letting him
put in a dedicated street at no expense to the borough. He indicated that he is
attempting to subdivide Lot 35 Block 4. The preliminary plan is to put a new
public roadway with public utilities to be extended from Linden Ave through the
Borough owned Lot 23 Block 4, and terminating at Lot 35. He would like to end up
with 3 building lots that would include water and sewer. Mr. Kaeferle suggested
Mr. Washart put some kind of contingency plan together and lock in the details
later. Discussion ensued. Mr. Duffield indicated that council could do 3 things.
Do nothing. Sell the lot to Mr. Washart or, sell the right of way and the
borough would continue to own the lot.
Council informed Mr. Washart someone will get back to him, hopefully by next
council meeting.
Mr. Shast – Shade Tree Commission Mr. Shast presented his annual report. See
