Borough of Highspire Regular Meeting of the Highspire Borough Council June 18, 2024 “Good governance never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.” ― Frank Herbert, Children of Dune 1. Call to Order 2. Prayer/Pledge of Allegiance 3. Roll Call 4.
