Captain James Parker will become acting chief effective September 10th. The Borough Council approved Parker's promotion at Monday night's meeting, where it also accepted the retirement of acting Chief Paul Brembt. Brembt was appointed to the position in April after Chief John Ferraro retired.

In other business, the Council appropriated $55,000 from money originally earmarked for New Market Avenue for repairs to Cherry Street. Bids for the New Market Avenue reconstruction came in lower than expected, and as a result, money originally bonded for that project can be used to repave Cherry Street and perform other repairs. Council members called the work "much needed," explaining that the road is in horrible condition.

Wishing Chief Brempt all the best in the future for him and his family. Thank you for your service to our community.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Parker will do a great job. A homegrown boy and a former Tiger varsity soccer player that will continue to make this town proud!!!!!
As a resident of Cherry Street, I'm glad to see that it will be repaved (though I'd hardly call it in "horrible" condition). There's also a petition circulating to put in speed humps when they do this work. I hope that they do - a lot of cars zip down Cherry Street at way over the safe speed.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget if you decide you don't like the humps YOU have to pay to remove them. Think carefully about this decision. They are a very annoying.
