At the first meeting after the election, the New Milford borough council met with the same roster of members. There was, however, a new mayor elect, though neither he nor the incumbent were present that evening.

Carmine Monteforte and his wife were present that evening, wishing to discuss the problem he had been having the last four years, regarding trailers that he had in his yard. The codes enforcement officer had told him to remove them, and he thought it was a violation of his civil rights so they went to court. He said that the borough had lost, and he was allowed to keep the trailers. The codes officer had come up with the idea of affixing the trailers to the land, and he had taken the wheels off of 99% of them. The one he had not taken the wheels off of, he maintained, was a trailer he planned to lease out at some point. He said that he had called a woman at one point who said that she thought they had given the case over to the council. Mr. White said that it had not been handed to them.

Several special budget workshops led up to adoption of a proposed budget for 2014 at the regular meeting of the Harford Township Supervisors on November 12th. It will be offered to the public for inspection for a month or so over the objection of outgoing Supervisor Garry Foltz.

Mr. Foltz and his colleagues disputed the interpretation of a provision that will allow the hiring of part-time staff in the summer and as needed. The money isn’t actually in the published budget anywhere, but Mr. Foltz claimed that the total cost could top $100,000. He said that it appeared to him to add another – a 4th – full-time employee. Supervisor Doug Phelps said that there was no intention to take on another full-time employee.
