At the August 5th meeting of Montrose borough, Mr. Lamont noted that the president would be voting in order to make a quorum. Various items were discussed through the meeting, including the community center, and a parking lot name.

During the correspondence center, Mr. Lamont noted that there were letters from eight people who wanted to put wells up in the borough.

Oakland borough council met for nearly 55 minutes on Thursday, August 8, at the Lanesboro Community Center. Along the way President Ron Beavan and Councilmen Jack Agler, Gary Boughton, Dave Dibble, Eric Page, Brian Rhone, and Dave Trevarthan considered three main topics: housing code violations, crime & security issues, and exploration of ideas for a new municipal building.

Routine business was disposed of expeditiously before moving on to Ron Beavan’s presentation of the Codes Report. He discussed five properties, one having made excellent progress in the correction of code violations, and four which appeared completely disinterested in - if not disrespectful of - any semblance of interest in codes compliance. President Beavan noted that he had had long conversations with Code Enforcement Officer Shane Lewis, as well as Magisterial District Judge Jodi Cordner, about one property in particular. He further noted how pleasant Judge Cordner had been, but that she could suggest nothing beyond what the borough was already doing to induce a modicum of cooperation from a particularly recalcitrant and non-compliant property owner.
