Top issues during term (20)

high→Jul 2026[27]

2025 and 2026 road and storm sewer improvements

Brings in state revenue for salting four state roadways over five years; exact amounts weren't stated.

high↑Jun 2026[14]

Rental property registration ordinance

A third-party program carries a $3,000 annual fee, so the borough would need enough registered rentals to break even on whatever resident fee it sets — it's a cost offset, not a moneymaker.

high↓Jul 2026[14]

Restructured SHACOG dues keep total revenue flat while simplifying the formula; Act 152 grants could fund blight remediation projects.

high↑Jun 2026[12]

Colwood Park improvements and LSA grant application

Even with a $1 million grant, the borough would likely fund only about a third of the full vision, phased over years.

high↑Apr 2026[11]

Volunteer fire department funding and stipend program

Borough contributions to fire/EMS have jumped from $173,000 in 2018 to $687,000 in 2026, with funding decisions coming at mid-year budget review.

$59,075 contract, with $20,000 covered by a federal CDBG grant funneled through the county.

high↑Nov 2026[10]

2027 budget deficit and EMS contribution

The general fund deficit stands near $1.3 million; EMS is seeking up to a 40% contribution increase.

high↓Sep 2026[10]
