Lutz also said he received a thank you letter from the Northeast Region of the Department of Interior, who recently toured the River Park area, along with other state government agencies.
He also reported during a recent survey of handicap parking in the borough that there were no problems as reported at a recent committee meeting. He said this year so far, police have cited 22 people for illegal parking in handicap spaces.

Good news from Philadelphia
The borough said it received $32,000 from a grant, which will place traffic control devices such as rumble strips around town. The money comes via Philadelphia, who collected fines for people running red lights that were caught on video.

Loan paid off
It was announced the borough paid off a $865,894.30 loan/grant to De Lage Landen Public Finance, which was used in connection with the Turkey Hill Experience project.

Vehicle purchased
The purchase of a Chevrolet 3500 one-ton dump truck was approved at a cost of $47,000.

Resident questions
Frank Doutrich and Vern Detz were the only two residents to address the council at the end of the three hour meeting.
Doutrich questioned the upcoming retirement of Police Chief Joe Greenya among other things, while Detz had finance and code issues.
