Council approves $145,182.73 in bills; solicitor asked to research pool referendum

Council approved payment of bills from the General Fund, Payroll, and Cemetery accounts totaling $145,182.73 on a motion by Ms. Fawess, seconded by Mrs. Meckley; the minutes record the motion carried but do not include a roll-call tally. The payment covers the borough's current obligations listed in the meeting packet.

Vice-President Moralez reported President Walker has asked council to make a decision regarding the community pool and directed Solicitor Wiley to research whether a referendum is a permissible mechanism to leave the decision to the community. The minutes record the direction to the solicitor but do not specify a timetable for that research or any proposed referendum language.
