BUSINESS TO BE ADDED: Councilmember Gutowski spoke on getting a Local Access Channel and that it would cost $15,000.00 to $20,000.00.

Councilmember Failace said he had been looking around and there is a lot of properties with a lot of garbage looking lousy. He questioned if there was someone looking around giving out violations for things like that. Mayor Sica said that is what Dino is there for and he will call him at his office tomorrow and tell him to get it done. Councilmember Failace mentioned Lucas Chevrolet and Mayor Sica said someone is buying it and said he would discuss it in Closed Session. Councilmember Failace had a transcript of Councilmember Bialowarczuk's statement at the Council Meeting of how we talk about Borough Employees in Closed Session, etc. etc. He wants to go on record saying that is a lie. We do not do that. We have discussed negotiations, but that is it. This is a direct transcript of it that he secretary did. He thinks we have to make the record straight 4 of exactly what we have done and said about Borough Employees and on top ofthat he would like to hear that now. Mayor Sica said this was personnel. Councilmember Bialowarczuk said she had no problem with pulling out any Closed Session for the last six (6) months and hearing the comments. Councilmember Failace said if that were done in Closed Session we wouldn't have the right to go out and speak on it publicly. He then told the mayor they are not after any Borough employees and reminded him that he was there at the meetings and they never said that. Neither side. Councilmember Bialowarczuk said she IS saying they are after Borough employees. Mayor Sica said when the tapes come out then people will judge the truth. Mayor Sica then asked for a motion to go into Closed Session and Attorney Coughlin said it would be for Personnel Matters, Potential Litigation and Ongoing Litigation.
