New Eagle Borough Council made a motion at the August 2 regular monthly meeting to advertise for bids for waste collection services. The borough is seeking a trash collector for three years, with an optional two-year extension and will be requiring the trash collector to be responsible for the resident billing services.
Council also decided that a temporary maintenance worker will work an additional two weeks to replace an employee whose finger was injured. A temporary employee may be hired after that time period if necessary.
In other business:
• Council approved the request of resident, Brian Barkey, to re-forest his property that was previously vacated by the borough. The property was not stripped by Mr. Barkey, who intends to plant grass and trees without being fined while the plants grow.
• Borough maintenance reported that recent rainstorms have produced excess storm water, breaking a new plastic pipe due to the water pressure.
