Bob Cannell reported that a Mr. Anthony of Coaxial Cable called him and offered to televise Council meetings at no charge. He thought the University production department could help tape it live. Mr. Cannell thought this was a way to help with communications in the Borough. After discussion it was agreed that the Mayor would contact Mr. Anthony regarding this matter.
Jean Davis asked that status of the water meter at the Fire Department. Manager McFadden stated that Butch Shafer, Water Superintendent, had made arrangements to get the meter if the Fire Department had it put in. Since they have not put it in we will schedule it up and get it in.
Paul Snyder asked since we meet twice a month to have a work session one meeting and a formal meeting the second. The Committee of the Whole would meet on one meeting with no action and the other with formal action. It has been over 60 days since we listed goals and we need to keep on top of issues. It was noted that work sessions would also be public. Question arose on impact on bills and payroll. Manager McFadden stated that the Finance Committee meets weekly on Mondays at 1:30 p.m. and have been talking about paying on a timely basis and at discounts. The bid awards may need special meetings and all meetings must be advertised.
Mayor Rhodes stated one meeting years ago we were not out til 10 p.m. or later. The packets where large and hard to prepare for and two meetings spread out everything. Tonight is a light night but she asked for more details on what Council was thinking about work sessions. Paul Snyder stated a different format with more discussion because it is over 60 days and we have not looked at our Council to do list for this year.

Jean Davis stated she was Councilman when two meetings a month at first then went to one meeting and called meetings as needed. It seemed like there was special meetings all the time. She felt they lost touch when there was one meeting to make decisions and that is how they got in trouble with a Manager years ago when they did not meet. Paul Snyder stated they did not have time to get things done in this format. Mayor Rhodes reminded them they still would have no action until the formal meeting. Jean Davis stated she welcomed open discussion. Bob Cannell felt the work session should not be televised on Cable station just the formal meeting. Chris Gillette thought the schedule would be the same as now just one being work session and one formal meeting. Jean Davis thought maybe a work session followed by a 8 p.m. formal meeting. Bob Cannell thought they needed more than an hour for work session. They have been on Council over 60 days and wondered what was being done with Council goals? Mayor Rhodes felt discussion is great and felt they had been working and making progress over the 60 days. The Finance committee has overseen bills and purchase orders; Ordinance Review is working on the garbage ordinance; and other committees working also toward our goals. She asked what goals we have not begun. Mr. Cannell issues not touched included 5-10 year strategic plan, monthly and quarterly budget review (Jean Davis stated the Finance committee has reviewed the monthly budget comparisons); and Communication networking. Paul Snyder went on to say it would be just a different format.
Bob Cannell motioned and Paul Snyder second to conduct one council meeting formally and the second as a work session on important topics.
Jean Davis stated she was not opposed to work sessions but had reservations on timely way to conduct business. Did not want to have penalties and loose discounts because of no Council meeting in time to obtain these savings. Bob Cannell wondered why no reports written on agenda every meeting. Jean Davis reported that the Council requested the agenda be in this format and listed every meeting so nothing falls through the cracks. Mayor Rhodes asked if Council wanted a different format to talk to her about that. Mr. Cannell felt a work session more would be accomplished in a few hours and important issues need to be discussed. Many municipalities have work session and they are productive. Mayor Rhodes asked County Councilwoman Carol Loll about County Council's work sessions. They meet every other Thursday at 4 pm and before Tuesday meetings to review agendas and discuss materials. Regular meetings are on Tuesdays twice a month. All work sessions and meetings are open to the public. If you have less meetings to make formal approvals then other people would have to be authorized to accomplish things in between. Paul Snyder asked for copies of other municipalities and school districts agendas and procedures to review.
Jean Davis motioned to table for more discussion and to see the format in writing. Chris Gillette second and motion carried by unanimous voice vote 6-0.

With no further business Mayor Rhodes asked for adjournment. Chris Gillette motioned for adjournment, and with no objections it was unanimously approved by 6-0 voice vote at 9:00 p.m.
