At the New Eagle Borough Council meeting on Tuesday, March 5, councilmen Charlie Wyatt, Archie Casever, president Jack Fine along with Mayor Glenn Petticord convened.
The council reported on and discussed collection of resident garbage bills, which ran up the borough expenses quite a bit last year to make up the difference in residents who paid late or did not pay at all. 129 citations were written last year. This year New Eagle hopes to do a better job in enforcing resident payment. 89 residents were cited for delinquent 2012 garbage bills. Quarter payments for all 2013 bills can be paid for at discount by April 1st.
A motion to close down Chess Street from Walnut to Cherry Street for the June 6th car show, which is held annually, was passed
A motion was approved to advertise for bids for summer road materials.
A report was given on municipal equipment and roads, confirming that New Eagle is still in good shape with salt supplies and also cinders leftover after the month’s snow.
Mayor Glenn Petticord gave an account of resolving an issue for a resident living on the corner of Madison and Maple. He looked into a situation where there is water coming down that washed out a ditch on Spring Drive. It is the 4th time the Borough has dealt with this and they are very concerned as it has been reported that cars have bottomed out on Spring Drive.
“We have put in asphalt and looked into laying a pipe there. But the work will have to be done in the spring after the streets are done – council will take care of the ditch.”
New Eagle proudly announces the opening of their new website at www.NewEagleBoro.org. Residence can find all borough information including phone numbers and ordinance information. Terry Sevven of Monongahela was thanked for designing the site.
