At the November 3 Montrose Borough council meeting, the council discussed a wide variety of items of note, including the police contract with Forest Lake Township, road safety, and heat. 

When the police contract renewal with Forest Lake was motioned, Mr. Lamont noted that they hadn’t talked with Frank but the current contract ran through April so they had time.  Mr. Granahan asked how many wanted this, to see if they needed to go into negotiations.  He suggested they provide their own police force.  Mr. Reimel said it was a personnel issue- they had trouble filling their own force at times.  Mr. Chamberlain noted that the original premise of the agreement was to provide interim police until they could get their own force.  Mr. Granahan motioned that they not renew the contract - it passed. 

The chili, onions, taco chips and sour cream last time were more filling, but the apple crisp offered at the Blue Ridge School Board meeting on November 3rd was really tasty.  Along with cookies and soda, the treat induced a good turnout for Student of the Month awards that the principals announce for gathered parents before the monthly business meeting.

Elementary School Principal Matthew Button first introduced one pupil, from each classroom, from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, and handed each a certificate recognizing their achievement.
