Development News from the latest meeting
Police Department Eligibility List Certified, Conditional Hire Approved
The council voted to certify the civil service eligibility list submitted by the Civil Service Commission. Additionally, a motion was approved to extend a conditional offer of employment for a full-time police officer position to Christopher Raleigh (B-R-O-L-L-E-Y), pending the successful completion of a background investigation, polygraph, and physical examination. This hire is intended to replace a retiring officer.
Council Approves Bill Payments and LEDC Contracts for Remainder of Year
Council approved the payment of bills for the period of June 17th to June 30th, 2026. Separately, council approved the Q3 and Q4 contracts with the Lansdowne Economic Development Court (LEDC) for continued programming and operational support, maintaining the same funding levels as the first half of the year.
South Lansdowne Stormwater Detention Basin Officially Named
The council moved to approve the naming of the South Lansdowne Stormwater Detention Basin, located adjacent to the 2020 house. There was a brief discussion about whether 'detention' or 'retention' was the more accurate term for the basin's function, with the consensus leaning towards 'detention' as it temporarily holds water rather than permanently retaining it.
Community Meeting Planned for Woodwood Avenue Property Development
Councilmember Hilbert proposed to hold a community meeting with neighbors regarding the property on Woodwood Avenue before any work proceeds. The aim is to gather suggestions for the property's future use, considering community desires for an open, maintained space like a community garden or walkway, as this quadrant of Lansdowne currently lacks accessible park areas. The closest park facilities are distant or not always usable by residents.
Borough Council Approves Grant Application for Stormwater Basin Improvements
The council considered and approved a grant application to the Pennsylvania Audubon Trust for $1,000. This funding is earmarked for the purchase of a sign and additional plantings at the South Lansdowne Stormwater Detention Basin. The application does not require a matching contribution from the borough.
