Since the resignations of the Mayor and three council members, I can report the following:
Borough Hall is functioning as usual. Ana (our Treasurer), Kathleen (Clerk), George (CFO), Gerry
(Auditor) and Sam (Tax Collector) are still on duty and carrying on their individual tasks.
Maria Del Piano was gracious enough to come in and thoroughly clean the bathroom and help me clean
and re-organize the kitchen. On Wednesday 16 August, 2017, the staff found that we could not
access our Borough email system. Upon a call to Computer Solutions, (our office server installers) we found the new server address and within fifteen minutes we were back in business. Thanks Jon and Bob from CS for getting us back up. We renewed our service contract with CS.
I received a call at 1:00 am Monday morning , August 21, that there was no water or low pressure on
Homestead and Lake Drives. Driving around town showed no breaks in the mains, Toby was called and
showed up around 2AM. Apparently one of the pumps pushing water into the tower had failed. He
started the backup pump and called Rich the electrician who confirmed the pump being off line. It was
restarted later and functioned quite well for the rest of the night and we all had water that morning.
Our next tasks will be to trim the hedges, repaint the “Municipal Hall” sign and clean the third bay of the
Hall. These things are being done by volunteers. We will continue to make these improvements while
waiting for a quorum in the Council, hopefully by time you read this.
Keep your eyes on the Bulletin Board at the Post Office for our calls for volunteers to help perform these
and other tasks. We continue to be optimistic and look forward to serving you – Our Town.
Respectfully Submitted;
Councilman Joe Trammell
