Pitman administrator presents draft fire-department ordinance, updates on union negotiations and Sunset Auditorium planning
Summary
Administrator McCafferty asked council to review a draft amendment to Borough Code 2-46 governing the fire department, reported that "the borough has settled another union contract" leaving one remaining, and said an architect contact for Sunset Auditorium will be engaged once the budget is finalized.
The Borough of Pitman work session on May 27 opened with Administrator Sandra McCafferty asking council to review a draft ordinance amending Borough Code 2-46 (Division of Fire Department) and prepare recommendations at a future meeting. Council President James presided over the session that began at 7:01 p.m.
"The Borough has settled another union contract, which leaves only one contract left to finalize negotiations," Administrator McCafferty said, reporting progress on labor talks. She also said she has a contact for an architect to evaluate Sunset Auditorium repairs and that formal work to determine necessary building repairs will begin once the budget is finalized and funds are confirmed.
The draft ordinance to modify Borough Code 2-46 was introduced for council review; McCafferty asked members to return comments so the item can be scheduled for a future meeting with a formal ordinance reading. The administrator framed the Sunset Auditorium update as an early, budget‑contingent planning step: staff will not proceed with architectural assessments or repairs until the council confirms available funds in the municipal budget.
Council members did not vote on the fire-code draft at the work session; instead the item was placed on the council's review track. The session record shows routine procedural motions bookending the discussion and no public comment on the matter.
Looking ahead, the council will review any proposed language changes to Borough Code 2-46, and the administrator expects to return a timeline for the auditorium assessment once the budget is adopted.
