The meetings will prepare several matters for the Borough Council work session on September 15 and voting session on September 16. A public hearing on the Stream Protection Fee is also scheduled for September 16.

For the community, these discussions are not distant administrative exercises. They can influence local fees, traffic, parking, development, street maintenance and neighborhood quality of life. This is where many decisions begin—before they reach the final vote.
