Summary

At its Dec. 30 meeting, White Oak Borough Council approved Resolution 2024-34 (appropriations and tax rate for 2025, no tax increase) and Resolution 2024-35 (establishing refuse collection fees); vote details recorded for 2024-34 and 2024-35 passed by voice vote.

White Oak Borough Council approved two additional resolutions during its Dec. 30 meeting.

Resolution 2024-34, described as an appropriation ordinance for municipal purposes and fixing the 2025 tax rate, was moved, seconded and adopted in a roll-call vote. The roll-call record in the transcript shows: Council member Kumbakis - No; Council member Ackerman - Yes; Council president Davis - Yes; Council vice president Harvard - Yes; Council member Russell - Yes; Council member Sherry - Yes; Council member DePaulo - Aye. The clerk announced the motion carried (announced as "6 more").

Resolution 2024-35 establishes annual fees for trash, garbage, recycling and other refuse collection by the borough's contracted hauler and a schedule of charges for delinquent accounts. The motion to adopt 2024-35 was made and seconded and passed by voice vote ('Aye'); no roll-call tally for 2024-35 is recorded in the transcript.

Both resolutions were introduced and advanced without extended debate in the public record; the council then confirmed workshop dates and an executive session on pending litigation and personnel matters.
