Summary

Council approved a resolution permitting disposition of removed military veteran banners after multiple outreach attempts to honorees; staff reported outreach efforts and a stated disposal cost, and council discussed whether disposal costs should be folded into future banner fees.

Council approved a resolution authorizing the disposition of replaced and removed military veteran banners.

Staff said dozens of banners had been taken down as part of an updated program and that the borough reached out to the named veterans or their families four times (two emails, two calls) before moving forward. The resolution, recorded in the meeting as Resolution 2026-07, lists the names of banners whose owners did not respond and proposes disposal or repurposing procedures.

Council discussed the expense and whether the borough should charge future banner applicants for eventual disposal costs. One council member asked if the $6,636.71 figure (as read in the meeting record) should be incorporated into future banner fees so that residents are not subsidizing disposal costs, noting the program had been intended to be cost-neutral. Others said the per-banner disposal cost was modest and acceptable.

After discussion, the council moved and passed the resolution without opposition.
