Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026‑25 to dispose of borough personal property, honored Master Sergeant Brian Craig as the month's hometown hero, and heard that a pump‑station relocation awaits a finalized easement before construction can begin.
The Palmyra Borough Council approved a resolution to dispose of borough‑owned personal property, recognized a local service member and received an update on a sewer pump‑station easement during routine reports.
Resolution passed: Council considered Resolution 2026‑25, a list of borough personal property deemed beyond repair and slated for Municibid listing or scrapping. A motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The resolution authorizes staff to proceed with disposal of listed items.
Hometown hero: The council honored Master Sergeant Brian Craig of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard (193rd Air Operations Group) as the month's hometown hero, citing multiple deployments and prior borough and county public service. Craig accepted the recognition and thanked council members.
Pump station easement: Staff and the solicitor reported that the pump station three relocation project is ready to move forward pending a mutually acceptable easement agreement with property owners.
