Additionally, Isabel will be the designated License Agreements Signer for the near future. Appointment for the Planning Commission was delayed to later in the month.
Mayor’s Report- The Honorable Jim Stover proposed finding a family in the Borough to oversee the raising and lowering of the flag in Parrish Park. Council agreed to seek out volunteers to bring forward at the next meeting.
Old Business- Council sent a request for the follow-up regarding the Edgecliff Grant earlier in the month and is waiting for a response. The Borough will be receiving a separate federal grant of $20,000 to allocate towards Edgecliff trail repairs.
Three new LED streetlights will be installed on Pilgrim through an LED conversion program at no cost to the Borough. Installation is scheduled for the end of November.

Council will continue discussions on potential solutions in the next meeting.
Council approved Borough application fees for permit applications. $25 for Residential applications, and $150 for Commercial. More information can be found on the Borough website.
