Borough to accept late FY26 senior-center grant applications; ordinance introduced for April hearing
Summary
Mayor introduced ordinance 2025-06 to grant an exception to accept late-filed FY26 senior citizen grant applications for four centers; mayor said all applications have now been submitted and the extension prevents senior centers from being penalized.
The finance committee introduced ordinance 2025-06 to provide an exception to borough code allowing the borough to accept late-filed fiscal year 2026 senior citizen grant applications. The measure was brought by Mayor Michicky and scheduled for a public hearing on April 15, 2025.
“Where the grant applications are required to be submitted by March 15 ... we're simply making the date a date that receives all of those senior centers,” Mayor Michicky told the committee. He said four senior centers either missed the deadline or had not completed submission in time but have now submitted, and the borough did not want seniors served by the centers to “pay the price.”
The mayor said the extension is required by borough code to be placed before the assembly. The committee discussion in the excerpt consisted of the mayor explaining the reason for the exception and there were no further questions recorded in the excerpt.
No committee vote or final adoption is recorded in the transcript excerpt; the ordinance was introduced for hearing.
