Summary
At the agenda-setting meeting council read and announced ordinances (budget, millage, taxes, salary schedule, fee schedule) for advertisement and future consideration, introduced motions to advertise personnel-related ordinances, and publicized a county tourism grant and a Hanukkah community event.
Council used the agenda-setting session to review the motions and ordinances that will be advertised for formal action at the regular meeting next Tuesday. Staff read proposed ordinances to adopt the 2026 general fund budget ($41,617,411), fix the real estate millage at 5.5 mills, continue deed transfer and business privilege taxes, set a 2026 salary structure with an approximate 3% staff raise, and adopt the 2026 fee schedule.

The council received an update on blight resolutions (items 10–16) and agreed to table them pending consultant-engineer and landowner reports. Doctor Lang reported the borough secured a county tourism grant to improve ADA accessibility at the Tall Trees Amphitheater. Council also announced the reorganization meeting for Jan. 5, 2026, and publicized a Hanukkah 'Light Up the Night' community event on Dec. 15 at Community Park West.
