ANNOUNCEMENT: LMB COUNCIL MEETING DEC. 19

Filed under: LMB GOVERNMENT — laurelmountainboro @ 3:36 am

The December meeting of the Laurel Mountain Borough council is scheduled for December 19, 7:30 p. m. at the Park building.

I know I placed this information in the OUT & ABOUT column, but it bears repeating since there will be time set apart for public discussion on the budget, and the new council members will be sworn in.

LMB council meets Wednesday, December 19, 2007. The new council members will be sworn in. All Boro residents are welcome to attend this or any other council meeting.

This will be a good meeting for boro residents to attend. I encourage those who are new to the community and those who have never attended a council meeting to attend.
