Council Meeting Tonight - Agenda

Items of interest on tonight's Borough Council meeting agenda include:

Planning and Zoning
1. Review a complaint received regarding a property on Main St.

Engineer's Report
1. Review what appears to be an ongoing issue with drainage in Tatamy Hunt
2. Discuss the (still non-operational) street lighting in Tatamy Hunt

Old Business
1. Discuss our Emergency Management Plan - and perhaps talk about scheduling drills

That's about it. Hopefully it will be a quick meeting. See you tonight at 7:30 at the Borough Hall!

Snow Routes - A Friendly Reminder

Now that it's snowing, I thought I'd take this opportunity to remind everyone who lives on any of the Snow Emergency Routes in the Borough to please make sure that you move your cars to a driveway/garage (if you have one), or to one of the side streets. This will make Frank's job a heck of a lot easier - imagine wrangling that big truck with a plow attached to it down the street trying not to hit the cars. Once the snow has stopped and the streets have been plowed curb to curb, you can put your cars back and then Frank can take care of the side streets.

A big thank you to everyone in advance for your help.

Happy New Year!

Well, it's an hour before midnight on the 31st of December, 2008. In a few days, I'll post "2008 - The Year in Review" - our accomplishments, and what I hope to see in the next year here in Tatamy.

Thanks to all of my readers - the statistics that I get about visitors surprise me every day. I'll summarize them one day here when I have some spare time - there's lots of data to parse through, but here are some highlights. Since I started keeping statistics in March, we have had 2,443 visitors. Out of that 2,443 visitors, 187 of you have been back more than 200 times. For that, I thank each and every one of you. Who would have thought?

I hope 2008 was a good year for you, and please accept my best wishes for a Happy, Healthy, Safe and Prosperous 2009.

Thanks for reading!
Chris

Holiday Greetings!

Merry Christmas to all of my readers, with best wishes for a fantastic 2009!

Nazareth Area High School Contraband Sweep Ended

Well, the routine search of the Nazareth Area High School ended at 10:25AM. Here's a quote from an email I just received:

This will also serve as the response to any parents or press who would contact any HS staff member during this time.

Nazareth Area High School has completed conducting our annual canine search of the building and all lockers. Any illegal contraband located within the building will be addressed as per the Nazareth Area School District Drug and Alcohol Policy. In order to facilitate this search by the administration and local law enforcement officials, building security procedures for a non-emergency situation were implemented.

To our knowledge, at this time, there was no present danger of any illegal drugs or paraphernalia present on school property. This was simply a routine search that was conducted to ensure that our students and staff are able to teach and learn in a safe and drug free environment.

The building security procedures have been lifted and all students and staff have resumed their regular duties and mode of operation.

Thank you for your support and cooperation in ensuring that our students and staff are able to operate and receive their education in a safe and drug free environment.
