Solicitor’s Report:
Lars will prepare an amendment to place in the paper for the advertisement for open council seat for 1st ward.
Letters of interest will need to be handed into the Borough by December 28, 2018.
The open seat will need to be filled on December 31st.
Mr. Scaltz will contact Magistrate Carmody to swear in the new councilman.
Lars will look into the West Wyoming Contract to see if we can make any changes.
Mr. Rose spoke about the peer consultant that is working with Mrs. Colarusso. There is a lot to cover and work on.
Current balance is unbalanced
Borough roughly pays out $100,000.00 per month in bills.
Payroll taxes were not paid; therefore the Borough will not be able to apply for any grants until they are satisfied.
The Borough will need to increase the tax mils by 2 mils to take care of the Borough deficit.
Recommended to table the budget until next meeting on December 31st.
Motion to adjourn: Mr. Baloga
