Council coordinates removal and relocation of 911 memorial and discusses clock‑tower title issues
Summary
Staff and council arranged for Walsh Electric to disconnect electrical service so the 911 memorial can be moved to the borough park; members asked landscapers for mockups and targeted a September 11 dedication. Council also discussed ongoing rights-and-title negotiations related to the clock tower and interim maintenance responsibilities.
Staff reported Walsh Electric is scheduled to disconnect power and help remove the electrical box so the 911 memorial can be relocated and stored at the borough until park landscaping is completed. "The 911 Memorial will come to us," the chair said while describing plans to consult three landscape companies for mockups and cost estimates and to coordinate with community groups about a dedication.
Council discussed timing for a dedication around September 11 and whether a special meeting would be needed to finalize landscaping contracts. Separately, staff said negotiations about rights and title for the downtown clock tower continue and suggested the borough's liability would be limited while ownership issues are resolved; council agreed to keep interim maintenance in place until title work is concluded.
