Council members were appreciative for the recent increase in patrols by the state police as requested. Council is still exploring the option of purchasing moveable speed signs for Route 14, Sister Street, and Windfall Road in the upcoming year.
The 2015 preliminary budget was presented to council by Secretary Vickie Jackson. The potential loss of the Act 13 Impact Fee revenue was briefly discussed with hopes that the Governor Elect will review the actual impacts to the municipalities that are and have been directly affected by the natural gas industry before promoting a change from the Act 13 Impact Fee to a severance tax. The budget is available for review at Secretary Vickie Jackson’s office upon request.
The next regular monthly meeting of borough council is scheduled for Monday, December 8, 2014 in the basement of the First Christian Church of Alba at 6:00 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend.
