Pres. D Crouse Report:  As per the SSCOG HALLOWEEN NIGHT IS SCHEDULED ON OCT 31ST 6-8 PM RAIN DATE IS SUNDAY NOV 1ST 6-8PM …As for the veterans banner project the Pines has underground service, you may have to find an alternative for flag installation. Using the lamp post may need a different application.  Also if you are looking for permission, you may find that the poles located on Lake Front thru Overlook & Willow are verizon poles. Just a heads up! Concerning the parking lot project once all the invoices for the project are paid in full the total expenses the general fund should be  reimbursed from the Lake Interest account. These funds are not tax generated. 

These funds were set aside for projects relating to areas surrounding the Lake & recreational areas. I originally considered using the SSCOG funds but the interest we are gaining is substantial and I prefer to let it work for us $$$! 

-Old Business; J Sterns 1..Seeking a motion to proceed with getting a quote for insurance from the PSAB-endorsed carrier to compare to our  existing provider

2. Continuing discussion of Hometown Heroes Banners, due to very strong interest by Deer Lake residents.  I have a call into PPL for permission to hang the banners on poles. They said they take 7-10 days to respond (but should be a mere formality, as per other municipalities’ experience). May seek the Borough’s help in accepting donations.

-New Business; ..Brian Romeo  will present the 6 month interim financial statement

-Steve

-Maintenance & RepairsI  Boro social media for council business. I am attaching the document from previous discussions.    Larry  will have all payable invoices to the Secretary in time for the agenda.  He wishes to discuss pending grant activity, current projects, and some potential activities, and would also like direction from Council on whether they would like him to estimate the cost of the replacement of wood with IPE on the grove and park benches .
