Council adopts ordinance to restructure Economic Development Committee
Summary
The Borough Council adopted Ordinance 2026-1342 to reconstitute the Economic Development Committee as a six-member advisory body; councilmembers and three residents raised questions about membership selection and eligibility, which council said will be handled via letters of intent or applications.
The Borough Council on July 13 adopted Ordinance 2026-1342 to reorganize the Economic Development Committee as an advisory body with six members.
"After review with the Borough Attorney, 6 members is satisfactory for an advisory committee," said Councilman Christopher Basista, who said letters of intent or citizen leadership applications will be reviewed to determine membership. During the public hearing, resident Brandon Agans asked how members would be selected and about eligibility; Councilman Basista summarized the membership requirements and said selection will follow the advertised application process. Melissa Bellamy commended council members for reconstituting the committee.
Council approved the ordinance by roll call after the public comment period. The ordinance is intended to give the committee input on local-business engagement and items such as the town sign ordinance and parking enforcement in the Main Street municipal lot.
