Brockway, PA – A new police car is coming to Brockway.
The Brockway Borough Council learned about the upgrade at the latest March council meeting.
Police Chief Troy Bell said that he found a car, so the borough is beginning the process of getting a new police car. The gun rack and computer will have to be removed from the old police car and installed in the new one, so that process will happen before the borough puts the car in service.
The volunteer fire department responded to six alarms since the last meeting, and two of those were in the borough. One was an EMS assist, and the other was a motor vehicle accident. Since December, the fire department has added two regular members and three junior members. New members are being added at the next meeting of the fire department.
The proposed paving list will be advertised for bidding. Currently, the borough plans on paving parts of Second, Fourth, and Fifth Avenues and Alexander Street toward the high school.
The recreation board said they are still looking for lifeguards for the upcoming summer pool season. The board also needs pool managers and concession stand operators.
Finally, the borough spent the last of the first disbursement of the American Rescue Fund money in the borough by helping a local organization with a project.
Council President Chris “Smoke” Benson said that this donation fully exhausts the American Rescue Fund money. Another round is expected in June, and the borough council already has requests for more funding. They will look into those requests after the money comes in.
Benson added that he is happy that the borough was able to help the Kaimanns.
The borough council went into executive session related to personnel issues. The next meeting will be April 7 and 7 p.m.
