Council hears grant, paving and budget-schedule updates
Summary
Council was briefed on a Sunnyside Field recreation grant application, considered an independent bid option for the 2026 road paving program to accelerate certain projects, and began scheduling 2026 budget hearings with follow-up scheduling offline.
The borough’s recreation and parks staff recommended applying for the state Local Recreation Improvement Grant to fund new dugouts and drainage work at Sunnyside Field and indicated the borough would pursue the maximum grant amount plus matching funds to improve award chances. The council will act by resolution to authorize the application.
Public works reported that running an independent paving bid this year — rather than relying solely on the Riverside cooperative — could allow earlier paving (April–May) for high‑priority roads such as Ridge Road. Staff said they would provide additional detail and pricing to help the council decide. The administrator also proposed evening budget hearings and an optional Saturday session to begin the 2026 budget process; members asked staff to finalize dates offline.
