Julie Overman, representing the borough’s Parks and Recreation program, told council the White Oak Pool will open for the 2025 season on Monday, May 26, and will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. From May 26 through June 8 the pool will be open to season-pass holders only; daily admissions will begin June 9. Overman listed pool pass presale dates in May and explained the family-pass pricing structure for presales.

Council approved the following rates as part of its motion: general daily admission $15; resident season pass $75 (proof of residency required); nonresident season pass (regular) not specified by label but nonresident senior season pass $100; resident senior (65 or older) season pass $35 (proof of residency and age required); nonresident senior season pass $60. Season pass holders may buy up to five guest passes at $30. The family pass option is available only at presale dates; the first four family members pay full price and any additional family members pay half price.

Council also approved the hire of Helani Kumpf as the seasonal pool manager at a seasonal salary of $8,300.

Both the rate schedule and the hire were adopted by voice vote with motions and seconds recorded on the transcript; no roll-call vote or recorded dissents appear in the meeting record. Overman’s announcement also included information about presale dates and required proof for discounted passes.","White Oak Borough Council approved the 2025 White Oak Pool season dates and rates, and hired Helani Kumpf as seasonal pool manager at a salary of $8,300.

The grant request passed by voice vote after a short discussion. The borough solicitor presented Resolution 2025-07, described in the meeting as a request to the Commonwealth Financing Authority for $425,000 to fund storm sewer cleaning and televising work.

The matter drew attention because borough engineering staff, earlier in the agenda, described the same project as a $500,000 closed-circuit televising and cleaning effort and said the borough would commit to a 15% local match of $75,000. During the resolution discussion a council member asked whether the resolution specified the match; the response from staff was that the resolution itself did not show the match amount.

Council President Davis presided over the vote. The solicitor, identified in the record as Ashley, moved forward the resolution for council action; the record shows the motion and a second, and council approved the resolution by voice vote.

The engineer noted grant application deadlines and that the borough would work with council and the borough manager to finalize applications. Council did not amend the resolution on the floor to include the 15% match figure described earlier by engineering staff. The transcript does not record a named mover or a roll-call tally for the resolution; the outcome recorded in the meeting minutes is that the motion passed.

The approval allows borough staff to submit the application and pursue any subsequent steps required by the Commonwealth Financing Authority. The transcript does not record the next procedural steps, project schedule, or a finalized funding breakdown beyond the two amounts discussed in meeting remarks ($500,000 project cost with a 15% match and a separate $425,000 grant request in the resolution).","White Oak Borough Council voted to adopt Resolution 2025-07 to request a Pennsylvania Small Water and Sewer Program grant for storm sewer cleaning and televising.
