Summit Hill is all set to enter the yellow phase of social restrictions that have been imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Carbon County enters the yellow segment of the three-phase tier on Friday.

During a meeting of Summit Hill Borough Council on Wednesday, the borough’s Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Kevin Steber said basketball courts and the borough hall will be reopening.

Basketball courts, located across the street from the borough hall, were closed in March because of social distancing policies, and basketball nets were taken down.

He said social distancing guidelines call for gatherings of fewer than 25 people, and he feels this can be enforced on the basketball courts.

Steber said it’s not certain when the borough hall will reopen, but it could be as soon as Friday. He said security windows have been ordered for the borough administration office and the Water Authority office. They are expected to arrive today. They then must be installed by the borough workers.

If they don’t arrive today, the borough building might not reopen until Tuesday.

Lines will be placed on the floor for social distancing.

All visitors will be required to wear face masks. Borough employees also will wear masks.

Steber said voting will occur in the borough hall on June 2. It will be up to the poll workers and the election officials to have all the supplies.

The fire department will be permitted to resume their activities on the Thursday after Memorial Day.

Steber said the Hill Top Community Center will remain closed until Carbon County goes into the green phase, which would end most restrictions.

“We still have a way to go before we’re out of this altogether,” Steber said.

He told the council he is hoping that its June meeting will be held in the borough hall.
