11/19/12 Perkasie Council Meeting

Council President Matt Aigeldinger reports for closed pre-meeting, claims it is just a planning meeting but will not allow resident in to public building to view meeting of public officials.  Also present at this particular pre-meeting were Mayor Hollenbach and VP Jim Purcell, and Borough manager Olpere.  If there is nothing to hide then why not invite public to witness?  It's not illegal without a quorum just not 100% transparency as we have been promised from Mr Aigeldinger.

Part 1 of Meeting- council is approached about creating a quality of life task force to help curb youth drug use in town.  Mayor Hollenbach reports on Chief Gura's report in regards to the Marino Shooting and says it is being reviewed and then will be presented to Borough Council and hopefully made public.

Part 2 of Meeting - recall bid for borough trash bags, vote on new power purchases, vote on businesses being allowed to connect to public electric for lighting events,   new appointment to Parks & Recreation board, resignation of Amanda Brooks, authorize solicitor to file action against Borough tenant for breach of lease, Pennridge FISH

Part 3 of Meeting - council addresses leaf collection concerns, resident questions connection between Perkasie Pride and Perkasie Regional Authority.  Executive session was held after the meeting.
