Borough Council
The Borough Code places general supervision of the
affairs of the borough in the hands of council. Council
serves as legislative body, setting policy, enacting
ordinances and resolutions, adopting budgets, and levying
taxes. Council also performs executive functions such
as enforcing ordinances, approving expenditures, and hiring
employees. Councilors are the proper recipients of
complaints, ideas, and suggestions concerning borough
affairs. Council members represent the communal
interests of the citizens past, present, and future. Council members are elected to serve four-year terms.
