City Council Appointment Interviews

Here's the link to the public interview session of the six residents who submitted their interest to be appointed to City Council.

The candidates were interviewed in this order:
John Border
Mike Fleck
Theresa Miller
Pamela Panto
J. Spike Rogan
Roger Ruggles

As many of you may have heard, Spike's used his time to make a very well thought out and mannerly political protest statement. His statement was against having Mayor Sal and Councilwoman Pam Panto serve on the new Council.

City Council Meeting Audio 11/14, 11,28, & 12/12/07

Once again, my apologies.

Here are the last three City Council meetings.

November 14, 2007

The Mayor presented the administration's budget proposal.

Allan Raisman, of Lafayette College, presented his "One-Word" project before Council. Several Lafayette students performed readings of submissions to the project. My personal favorite was the submission for the word "Eventually".

November 28, 2007

John L. Boscia's (a retired City employee) passing was recognized in a resolution.

The Easton Rumblers soccer team was recognized for their undefeated season.

The Planning and Economic Development Director (Barb Kowitz) gave an update on the progress of the Palmeroy and Lincoln Textile projects. Some council members seemed less than satisfied with the report on the projects. There was also vigorous discussion on the obstructed sidewalk in front of the Palmeroy building. The Mayor reported on his meeting with the developers. He was as confident and as supportive as ever in the developers' intentions. There was a good deal of discussion on the development projects and the taxpayers liabilities.
