Board Comments
S. West — None
D. George — None
D. Kaplan told the Board there was going to be a joint Borough and City work session June
28`
S. Arndt told the Board he was glad to be on the board.
N. Szabo told the Board he spoke with N. Javier, Borough Clerk about meeting procedures
and said as far as setting the agenda his approach had always been to make it as easy as
possible for the various members to put items on the agenda and even though he may not
agree with them he wanted to give everyone a chance to put things on the agenda if they
felt the Board should at least take them up. He said N. Javier suggested the Board add a
section to the agenda, after New Business there would be Other Items and that would be
Items for Discussion for Future Meetings and with the Boards consent he would like to add
that to future agendas. He stated N. Javier thought it would be good if they got some sort of
a consensus among the members of what they wanted to talk about at the next meeting
rather than a free for all of people putting stuff on the agenda. Discussion followed and it
was decided to do it on a trial basis.
Meeting Schedule
The next regular meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 7:00pm.
Adjourn
There being no further business before the Board the meeting was adjourned at 6:40pm.
