Residents urge more transparency and request live-streaming; council replies on NDA question
Summary
Multiple residents requested the borough livestream meetings and raised concerns about transparency, police reports, sidewalks and vehicle spending; council members responded that no member had signed an NDA with Data enter representatives.
During the public-comment portion of the July 21 meeting, several residents urged the borough to increase transparency and asked the council to begin live-streaming meetings.
Devon McCullough (545 Grant Street) "requested the Borough live stream the meetings," and Katey Mueller (545 Grant Street) registered the same request. Brittany Jackson (1051 Keene Street) raised concerns about a lack of transparency in borough affairs, police reports, and public safety. Nancy Cochran (500 James Street) commented specifically about sidewalk conditions in the borough. Matt Lang raised budget questions and expressed concerns about vehicle purchases. Catherine Majer (322 Moyhend Street) asked if any council member had signed a non-disclosure agreement with Data enter representatives; according to the transcript "All members stated No." The council did not announce an action plan or schedule to implement live-streaming during the meeting.
Residents' comments appeared under the general public-comment segment and were recorded in the meeting minutes; the council acknowledged the remarks but took no immediate formal direction to implement a livestream during the session.
