There is an Ambler Borough Council Meeting at 7pm at Ambler Borough Hall.

Here are some of the things that will be discussed at tonight’s meeting:

• Public Works:  A recommendation is requested to adopt Resolution 2018-02 authorizing the Borough Manager to execute the documents and agreements for submittal of the grant application to the PA Small Water Main Replacement Project with a grant request of $400,775
• The Parking Committee is discussing the Parking Plan and meter options. Details to be provided in March.
• The Community Development Block Grant agreements were received for Grant Funds in the amount of $70,425 for the Municipal Public Restroom Renovation. The Grant Agreements will be executed.
• SEPTA- Farmers Market Agreement. In the coming weeks Main Street will be requesting a renewal of the lease at the SEPTA parking lot for the Farmers Market.  A request was received to ask for additional weeks in the lease so the Market season can be extended.  Authorization is requested to explore rental options with SEPTA for the 2018 season.
• Ambler Library.  There is a letter from the Wissahickon Valley Library requesting support in applying for and in administering grants for their renovation in Ambler.
• Recycling Funds Resolution.  The state is considering redirecting, and not distributing, Section 904 recycling performance grant fund monies which have always been distributed to participating municipalities such as Ambler, to be used instead by the State to balance the 2017-2018 General Budget of the Commonwealth.  Council is asked to consider adoption of the Resolution 2018-03 opposing the use of these funds by the State to balance the State’s General Budget.
• Parks and Rec– A final decision from council is requested for the name of the Pocket Park. Ambler Square was most favorable in the survey. Survey results were requested by the county.
