During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a variety of community events and safety measures, highlighting the borough's active engagement in local activities and public safety.

Upcoming events include a murder mystery night scheduled for November 8th, a senior luncheon at 1 PM, and a tree lighting ceremony at 6 PM, both on December 8th. The borough also celebrated a successful \"Trunk or Treat\" event on October 26, which saw participation from over 400 children, despite some challenges with attendance from registered vehicles due to scheduling conflicts with other local events.

The meeting also acknowledged the Brookhaven Fire Department's recent 5K Fun Run, which raised funds for the department. The event, held on a chilly morning, attracted 79 runners and walkers, showcasing community support for local services.

In response to current environmental conditions, the borough has implemented a temporary burn ban due to a moderate drought. This ban prohibits outdoor burning, including fire pits and fireworks, with exceptions for cooking grills that are attended and extinguished after use. The ban will remain in effect until further notice, with officials emphasizing the importance of community safety.

Additionally, the ordinance committee is preparing to present a revised responsible contractor ordinance at the upcoming council meeting, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance local governance.

The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of community contributions, particularly thanking Charles Allen for his efforts in organizing the Trunk or Treat event, which has become a staple in the borough's seasonal activities.
