Votes at a glance: consent agenda, digester work, EADS pause, personnel hires and SRO contract addition

Key formal actions taken by the borough council during the meeting include adoption of routine items, approvals for wastewater work and several personnel actions.

- Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda (four items) by voice vote.

- Wastewater digester work: Council approved a contractor quote to complete digester maintenance and sludge removal using grant funds; the work is scheduled as soon as contractor availability allows.

- Pause on EADS consent-order work: Council voted to extend a suspension of EADS-related consent-order work until borough staff meet with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and report back.

- Personnel approvals: Council approved hiring an alternate refuse worker pending interviews and background checks and approved adding and hiring a part-time LPD position (non-union, not subject to civil service). Both motions passed by voice vote.

- SRO contract: Council added the School Resource Officer (SRO) contract for the 2026-27 school year to new business and approved it; the contract mirrors the prior year (40 hours per week during the school year) and will require signatures.

Where available, the transcript records voice votes; one roll-call sequence in the minutes lists individual "yes" responses from council members during a roll-call portion of the record (names recorded as read during roll call). The meeting did not record formal tallies by name for every motion in the transcript; recorded outcomes above reflect the approvals and pauses announced on the record.
