The borough is looking at amending the language in its zoning code to clarify that “personal services” is a use-by-right in the C-1 and C-2 commercial districts in town. Russell Drumheller, the borough's Codes Enforcement Officer, explained that a barber shop, an example of personal services, should be a use-by-right in the C-1 and C-2 districts. Under the current language, the use-by-right is not clear, and a simple change in the zoning code will fix that.

Council authorized advertising the proposed 2019 budget and the 2019 tax ordinance, as is required by law, in advance of the meeting when the final budget will be discussed.

Borough council unanimously approved the special event applications for the holiday parade and tree lighting, which will take place on Nov. 23; the holiday carriage rides scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 2, 9, 16, and 23; and the annual Midnight in the Square event on New Year's Eve. Borough council also signed off on a new event, Tinsel on the Town, which is slated for Thursday, Dec. 13.
