MAYOR’S REPORT: Mayor Aichele reported that he had attended the Millersville University seminar Building Safer Communities: Reducing Community and School Violence. The seminar covered the use of social workers by police departments. Lancaster County Commissioners were considering implementing social workers county-wide. If implemented, social workers would be available for walk-ins and appointments rather than acting as first-responders. The seminar also addressed working with the community to prevent suicide and gun violence. Chief Margevich noted that new police officer Croft Howley was going through training and that the Borough’s Student Resource Officer was back on patrol for the summer. The two police openings continue to be advertised. BOROUGH MANAGER’S REPORT Manager DeSantis-Randall reported that she attended the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs Conference in Hershey.
