According to the Oct. 14 Intelligencer Journal, Quaryville Borough Council has set two special meetings to discuss the borough’s 2010 budget and whether to proceed with redoing Fourth Street.
If a Fourth Street project tops the list of 2010 capital improvements, Fourth Street residents will be required to pay to install sidewalks as the project is done. The special meetings are at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, and Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the borough office, 300 Saint Catherine St.
The 2009 Fifth Street improvement project was controversial among borough residents, many of whom disagreed with council’s pro-sidewalk policy and having to pay for them.
“We need to begin to look at what we want to do and if we will need to do any capital borrowing,” said council President Robert Landis Jr. during an Oct. 5 meeting.
Landis also indicated Fourth Street may need some updated storm water engineering.
In other business, police chief Ken Work said the police department answered many calls in September, including a disorderly conduct, two DUI arrests, and calls for assault, domestic violence and drug complaints. Work said the department participated in county DUI and speed patrols.
In Quarryville, and county-wide, trick-or-treat is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30.
