The draft ordinance sought to amend section 9‑3 of the borough ordinances to permit the council to set or dissolve committees at times other than the annual reorganization meeting. Proponents said the change would add flexibility and make committee work more accessible to the full council. Opponents said the council is near the end of its current two‑year term and the next council should decide committee structure.

During debate one council member said they \"strongly object to this\" because a new council would take office in January 2026. In a roll call that followed, Council member Cockle voted aye; Council members Gerber, Guyverson and Galea voted nay; Kurlovich said he would \"go along with it\" at the time; and Council President Lane said he would vote against it. The president announced the motion failed with two in favor and four against.

The council did not change the ordinance at the meeting and no advertising for the draft ordinance will occur. Staff circulated sample agendas and clarified that the ordinance would not dissolve committees but would allow more flexibility to set committees by resolution if the council chooses to do so in the future.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Millersville Borough Council Meeting 6/24/25","oneSentenceSummary","Council voted down a motion to advertise a draft ordinance that would have amended section 9‑3 to allow council to set or dissolve committees by resolution outside the annual reorganization; opponents said the change was unnecessary before a new council is seated.","taxTitle","Millersville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania","taxId",71837,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188419,"Millersville council adopts Freedom Memorial Park master plan",84,1153000,1237000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5062601-48a37e1fec593f0abd030f6253d7d29f&start=1153&end=1237","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5062601-48a37e1fec593f0abd030f6253d7d29f/thumbnail_1153000.jpg","/articles/6188419/Millersville/Lancaster-County/Pennsylvania/Millersville-council-adopts-Freedom-Memorial-Park-master-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188419-2feb6c184767cac7fd2bb0635d4cf336/orig.mp4?Expires=1771214532&Signature=nNb7TUHe~z0x20n3LlLq72dq0e4TM5fOzjs4AI9TdF4MxqeMM5n0D0CZrCUQYmajgSqa1M3RzTY1yBWxvl1EVR2eFUewckyGfqVovSWQPFDCebAMZqk6iQJSe8fxf9HMNHV1jVPlv097h~cJ1LDt0x0AZICb~0Pq3fR2p3PWPwyaDu1cQ6aLkJP9w3eRJcAFJzc1v~IjB8WEE1SCqN-hozV~QChmtUfk4T68zz18ZERjG5AR-177rwbeoJX63kNoSRcOze7YJT-cgiEp4MRGrVJrULD9VTEeha2bco3F6crG91IfqrXKa3ZqOWTj7ZDWY2S~-Kma2x5HrEUoLWO0vw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A borough staff member presented the final Freedom Memorial Park master plan and the Millersville Borough Council voted to adopt it after the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) returned no additional comments.

The presenter said the park committee had worked on the plan for more than a year and that DCNR and the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) had been recipients of grant applications tied to elements of the plan. \"They did not have any additional comments or edits that they would recommend changing in the master plan,\" the presenter said, and councilors proceeded to vote to adopt the document.

Council members said adoption provides a 10‑ to 15‑year framework for park improvements and will support future grant requests to implement plan elements. A motion to adopt the Freedom Memorial Park master plan was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; no amendments were proposed during the meeting.","The borough council adopted the final Freedom Memorial Park master plan after the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources offered no additional edits; councilors said adoption will guide park changes over the next 10 to 15 years and support grant applications.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188424,"Millersville council accepts Darlene Eager's resignation; opens 30‑day application window",136,280000,416000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5062601-48a37e1fec593f0abd030f6253d7d29f&start=280&end=416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5062601-48a37e1fec593f0abd030f6253d7d29f/thumbnail_280000.jpg","/articles/6188424/Millersville/Lancaster-County/Pennsylvania/Millersville-council-accepts-Darlene-Eagers-resignation-opens-30day-application-window","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188424-9278167b425c3162947886afbd9e5b8a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771214532&Signature=jBX3-3Pz0HI563O5G8D6tO4rXNn4egfV0Um6EtLpCWVwhFmHCuYBcYoe9Pv4rEM44sdpMepPzBvW7URiUA5kPhttZCcMkcoiZ5ESCkZdzQGZc8fAi7TrdM9lDJNd5XHhobaji2XZ2mtbYHXi-ErawuF2HnZ1AOw40AlOyz6iMfpzmRDN8IVe2qo8lKc5wV3fs86~jI4r13iq71rvkIBybcrpEl7ZuLR0aleqhcZSLpiZDT6oHCsc05X80Qhm~YZEFu5ouhqlt8F6WpJTrjcSVJfmHySt6Wcw6dQYlmxvlfws-LlgPFiURArSOm5P70GM4cjJcGQYiODLbGxwxXWJWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millersville Borough Council voted to accept the resignation of Council member Darlene Eager and announced a 30‑day application window for residents to submit letters of interest to fill the vacant seat.

Council President Lane moved to accept the resignation; the motion carried. Council members said letters should be submitted by email to the borough inbox or delivered to borough offices. The council explained the seat requires applicants to be at least 18 years old and to have at least one year of residency in Millersville Borough.

Council President Lane said voters had selected a Republican for the seat in the prior election and that he would \"be giving preference to registered Republicans for that seat.\" Another council member responded, \"If I may, I totally disagree with you and I will be giving my vote to whomever I feel would do the best job for the borough.\" Councilors agreed they have 30 days to make an appointment and encouraged prompt submissions so the full slate of applicants can be considered.

No special appointment process beyond council vote was adopted at the meeting; the council will vote to fill the vacancy after the application window. The borough said it will post vacancy information on the website under \"Volunteer Opportunities\" and will continue social posts to promote openings.","The Millersville Borough Council voted to accept the resignation of Council member Darlene Eager and announced a 30‑day period for residents to submit letters of interest to fill the vacancy; the council president said he will give preference to registered Republicans, a statement some members opposed.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188428,"Blue Rock Fire District launches $10 million capital campaign for consolidated station",614,529000,1143000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5062601-48a37e1fec593f0abd030f6253d7d29f&start=529&end=1143","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5062601-48a37e1fec593f0abd030f6253d7d29f/thumbnail_529000.jpg","/articles/6188428/Millersville/Lancaster-County/Pennsylvania/Blue-Rock-Fire-District-launches-10-million-capital-campaign-for-consolidated-station","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188428-6e30536c6902ed95f69056809c517cb5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771214532&Signature=UM510qQZiRAvigSsGLm4sus9zx7S8K~2zlRk4in6a9fOgzzyh4G~CZu9afN2p2GxBf-evLzH9cX~unM2Yk06sxcljlBCV50t79SAv5IAacV2xlPSYqhaaES0vNu90CIS80jHHa4A6q2JOEDzqorQe~CJXzYhjX1OBQLTkhMYeH3yOW8j64xqidY13p8vKK-i-MbXa5fPw5iiQP2PVGgapbAvHNe3NJGpglZ6lYisEZJVa5ugaDa6AHp7gYwvzZ9k8g4iOVi9vP-J3NH8edUikeeGwksWPAvebcMk3xDJEeS50DRL-6I5SGW7pX-VERmUV-S2kZIipIdkrTktOBNKCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dwight Hansen, a representative of the Blue Rock Regional Fire District, told the Millersville Borough Council that the district is launching a capital campaign to build a consolidated fire station and aims to raise about $10,000,000.

Hansen said the plan responds to facility needs, changing call volumes and the loss of a leased building that is owned by the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Association. \"The estimate for everything, and I'm talking about engineering, buying the land, building the building, is about $10,000,000,\" Hansen said. He said the district currently holds roughly $1,900,000 in capital reserves but intends to raise additional funds through grants, foundation requests, local philanthropy and a public campaign tied to the Washington Borough tomato festival.

The district has identified land near Washington Borough Park that it expects to buy at cost from LAHSA and said it needs roughly 4.5 acres for the station and up to 9 acres to meet stormwater management requirements. Hansen said combining two stations that together respond to a little more than 100 calls a year would save ongoing facility and utility costs and could help recruit volunteers. He said campaign activities will begin with an official kickoff on July 12 and that, if fundraising proceeds on schedule, construction could begin next spring with about a year to build.

Council members asked about funding sources and progress to date. Hansen identified state capital budget requests and discussions with state legislators and senators, applications to foundations and outreach to local property owners and businesses. He said the district completed an early soft fundraising push that yielded about $150,000 and that the full campaign will seek substantially larger gifts and grants. \"We have reached out to our state representatives,\" he said, and listed outreach to state elected officials and foundations as part of the fundraising plan.

No formal borough action was taken at the meeting; the presentation was informational. Council members did not vote on municipal funding during the discussion, and Hansen emphasized the district's goal of raising the bulk of the project funds without drawing down operating budgets that support vehicle replacement and day-to-day operations.","Blue Rock Regional Fire District outlined plans and a capital campaign to consolidate two riverfront stations into a single facility near Washington Borough Park, estimating total costs at about $10 million and announcing a public fundraising kickoff on July 12.","actionData","errors"]
