Let There (almost) Be Light!

Can you believe that last night 5 of the 9 street lights in Tatamy Hunt were actually on? I believe MetEd will be back in the next day or so to finish up - something about replacing a damaged piece of equipment. There is hope after all!

John - stop complaining about that bright light shining into your window - HA!

Council Roundup coming later today. Stay tuned! :-)

12/1 Borough Council Meeting - Agenda

Hello everyone! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Holiday, and that you didn't eat too much - HA!

Can you believe it's December already? The following items of interest are on the agenda for tomorrow night's Borough Council meeting:

PLANNING
1. Rental Agreement Form for Landlords

2. Yes/No on a crosswalk at the corner of Main and 7th. This is a school bus stop, and is frequently used by folks walking from the main part of town to North Tatamy. I vote "yes". Let's see what my colleagues think.

ENGINEER
1. Municipal map update
2. Jake Brake Ordinance update
3. Recording of the plans for the Chrin Commerce Centre
4. Dedication of streets in Tatamy Hunt (contingent of course on having the street lights turned on. At last check, you guessed it, they were still dark).

SOLICITOR
1. Adoption of a revised Peddler's Ordinance
2. Tatamy Hunt Street Lights (need I say more?)

BUDGET
The 2nd reading of the 2009 Tatamy Borough Budget will be read.

That's all folks. Borough Council meets tomorrow evening, 12/1/2008 at 7:30PM at the Borough Hall. I hope to see you there!

Street Lighting - Update

At the December council meeting, Borough Council is scheduled to formally adopt the streets in the Tatamy Hunt sub division. A letter was sent by Borough Solicitor, Elviria LaBarre to the attorney for the developer telling them that unless the lights are turned on, the borough will not adopt the streets.

Knowing how much they want the streets dedicated (and their escrow money released), here's to hoping that they will get this resolved before our 12/1 meeting. However, if past history is any indication of future performance, I'm not holding my breath. Here's hoping folks . . .

Perhaps its time for the residents living in Tatamy Hunt to send a letter or email to the developer - telling him how much they love their houses, especially at night, in the dark. While you're at it, you might want to thank him for installing the beautiful light posts. They do look nice - in the daytime.

The Lights are Still Out . . .

As mentioned in my November Borough Council Roundup, we were told that MetEd was targeting this past Friday, 11/14/2008 to have the street lights in Tatamy Hunt energized. Well, Friday has come and past and, I'm sure to nobody's surprise, the lights aren't on.

I'm going to make a few phone calls tomorrow to see if I can't get any information. I'll keep you posted.

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Tonight I had the privilage of attending the final performance of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, at the Nazareth Area Middle School. What a show - the kids did a super job. For two hours I felt as though I was immersed in the Sunday Peanuts comic. A special shout out to Tatamy's very own John Nadolski (son of our Tax Collector John), who played the part of Linus. WOW! I believe he may have a future in theatre! My own son Jordan was the Assistant to the Director (he prefers being "behind the scenes"). If I left anyone else from Tatamy out, I apologize in advance (I'm sorry but don't know everyone).

The standing ovation at the end of tonight's show was well deserved. I can't wait until the spring performance.

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!
