Public Comment regarding Shade Tree/Public Works
Rescue Squad Presentation - President and Captain
It seems to me the boro would be better served by a combination of professionals and volunteers. Not to take anything away from the hard working and dedicated volunteers, but the president really seemed out of his element. Ok, he’s new and trying to wrap his hands around the mis-management of the past year or two. But the squad needs someone with financial management experience. The president has done the right thing in reaching out to former officers and the boro for help, but they need that help right now. Maybe the fire chief could step in, in the mean time, and help them put together a budget that has a prayer of being met.
If a tax payer stipend is granted, the council has finally realized that the outlays should be done on a monthly basis, to be given upon acceptance of a satisfactory monthly financial statement. Let’s see how that goes. At least they’ll be documents on record….

What? Mr. Rodino not complying with the tree ordinance? He couldn’t even answer a question when someone asked him about it two weeks ago. Does he even know we have one?
Thank you Hal for the audio clips.
