A Lansford borough police officer wants council to keep track of who is coming in and out of borough hall after hours.

A longtime council member says that the policy is singling her out for possibly political reasons.Christopher Ondrus, a resident, police officer and leader of the nonprofit Lansford Alive, has brought up the issue the last two months at council meetings.He would like council to keep track when an employee or council member is in the borough offices after hours."Don't you feel it's important to know who is in and out of this office? Especially with all the important files? There's employee records, there's bills, there's files, there's keys," Ondrus said.The only people with keys to the office are staff and council members.Ondrus asked borough council to look at a policy in June.At the meeting earlier this month, he asked if there had been any progress.Councilman Jared Soto said he talked to neighboring boroughs, who had no problems giving their council members keys to get into the building when staff is not available.While no thefts have been reported recently, Ondrus said that over the decades he has lived in the borough, there have been instances where records went missing from the borough office.He said just the possibility of something going missing should be enough to encourage council to take action."We had numerous break-ins over the years in the borough office. I feel security is key here," he said.Councilwoman Rose Mary Cannon, whose term is set to expire this year after more than a decade on the board, said she believes Ondrus is singling her out.She said that Ondrus confronted her about visiting the office for about 30 minutes on a Sunday morning.She said she believes that she is getting punished because council rejected a request from Ondrus and resident Joseph Genits to work on the borough's list of vacant properties."It seems to me you should have better things to worry about than what I'm doing in a half-hour," she said.Cannon did not get enough votes in the primary to appear on the ballot for borough council this fall. Genits will be on the ballot in November, as well as Ondrus' mother, Marie.
