Council introduces ordinance to allow compensation for commission secretaries; public hearing set for May 20
Summary
Ordinance 0-26-15 was introduced to amend borough ordinances to permit members of the Environmental and Shade Tree Commissions to serve as compensated secretaries. The council set a public hearing for May 20, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.
Ordinance 0-26-15, which amends Ordinances 2-11 and 2-12 to permit a commission member to serve as secretary and receive compensation from budgeted funds, was read by title on introduction on May 6. The ordinance text changes existing language that previously barred members from receiving compensation and instead allows a "member-secretary" to be compensated in accordance with budgeted funds.
Councilwoman Ruane moved to pass the ordinance on introduction and to set the public hearing for May 20, 2026 at 6:30 p.m.; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote (AYES: Bray, Cioffi, Penta, Ruane, Sniffen). The ordinance also amends the Shade Tree appropriation language and contains a standard repealer and effective date clause.
