Failed Emergency Generator at Municipal Building
Summary
The municipal building's backup generator no longer works — and it barely powered anything anyway. Without power, police can't process arrests because their computers run off the borough network. Officials applied for a grant through the state senator's office to replace it with a diesel unit that powers the whole building.

Impact analysis
Replacement cost unknown; a full-building diesel unit with a 1,000-gallon tank is proposed, hopefully grant-funded.
Police operations and borough emergency response during power outages.
If the grant falls through, taxpayers could face a significant capital cost; outages currently hamper police arrest processing.
