Resolution No. 3 authorized the mayor to sign agreements with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for a Greenlight Go grant to modernize the signalized intersection at 12th and Maple. The mayor described the project as an 80/20 match with an estimated total cost of $463,000, PennDOT covering $368,000 and the city share $95,000, and said the project must be completed by May 2028. Council member (speaker 4) moved to adopt Resolution No. 3; Chairman Martin seconded and the measure passed on a 5–0 roll call.
On final reading the council adopted Bill No. 1 to codify a set of recent ordinances into the city code and to update multiple local rules and fee schedules.
