Borough Council - Monday 10/6/2008

Are you wondering what's on the agenda for Monday night's council meeting? Some items of interest include:

1. Discussion of repairs to the streets in Tatamy Hunt where there are low spots that allow ponding after rain storms.

2. Review of the agreement with MetEd and Tatamy Hunt to have the street lights turned on.

3. Mail Delivery. Keep in mind that the Post Office has control over this issue. The borough has absolutely NOTHING to say in this matter. It is not the Borough's decision to change the way that mail is delivered - that is all up to the post office.

4. I will be presenting for approval the final version of our new website. I have spent many hours putting it together, tearing it apart and putting it back together again and I'm pretty happy with the final version. If you haven't seen it yet, please do take a look around. A few things to note -- this website isn't costing the borough anything other than the purchase of a domain name. I will maintain it, and the server space is being donated by a local IT services firm.

If you're not busy on Monday, come to the meeting.

See you around town!

Sonic to Open on Monday!

So I called down to Sonic today to see if they were open yet. They said "no", but they are opening at 11AM on Monday.

Maybe I'll stop there for supper on Monday night to try it - especially since it's a Council night and I won't have much time to fix dinner.

Borough Website Almost Ready!

It's almost ready folks - the new Tatamy Borough Website is almost finished. Thanks to the feedback that I have received from a lot of you, I've been hard at work and made a lot of changes. You can get a sneak peek here. If you check it out, please email me and let me know what you think. I'll announce the official domain name hopefully later this week.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Safe Water and Fire Company Breakfast

Well, in case you haven't guessed by now, the water in town has been declared safe to drink. I apologize for not updating the blog, but thought most of you probably already knew.

My son Jordan and I had a fantastic breakfast this morning at the Tatamy Fire Company. If you haven't had the chance to enjoy breakfast at the Fire Company, give it a try. They give you plenty of food, everything's great, and for $5.50, you can't beat it. Plus, you're supporting a great cause. Breakfast is served the third Sunday of every month, from September through May, from 7:30AM until 12:30PM. We hope to see you there!

It looks like it's going to be a good week weather wise. Let's enjoy it - tomorrow is the first day of Autumn, and, as we all know, the long, cold days of winter are drawing closer and closer every day.

Have a good week everyone!

Boil Water Advisory In Effect

Pennsylvania American Water Company has issued a Boil Water Advisory for folks in the Tatamy area until further notice. From WFMZ:

The Pennsylvania American Water Company has issued a MANDATORY BOIL WATER ADVISORY for customers in parts of Northampton County. They say an equipment malfunction has led to lower disinfectant levels and an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms. Customers may experience low water pressure or no water pressure while the situation is being resolved. The boil water advisory applies to customers in the following municipalities: Easton, Nazareth, Upper Nazareth, Palmer, Pen Argyl, Plainfield Township, Saylorsburg, Stockertown, Tatamy, Wind Gap, Bushkill Township, and Forks Township.
