Coaldale Borough Council meetings will be getting a change of venue.

During Tuesday’s meeting, council approved moving some of its meetings from borough hall to the Coaldale Complex.

Councilwoman Kim Gavornik motioned for the change, saying that the complex ‘s larger capacity would allow more of the town to be involved.

Audience seating at is limited at borough hall, with some chairs place in a hallway where attendees cannot see council.

Councilwoman Angela Krapf said her only concern about the move to the complex was a loud heating system.

“In the winter time, we’re going to need some kind of sound speaker because when those heaters come in, they are so loud,” Krapf said. “Nobody will be able to hear.”

Council decided to hold meetings at the complex during the warmer months when the heaters are not in use. Borough hall will be used during the colder months.

After some discussion, council decided to wait to devise a schedule of dates and locations for its 2025 meetings.

Solicitor Robert Yurchak said council can decide where to hold the meetings as they prepare the advertisement.

“We’re going to have to advertise it anyway so save the advertisement for January,” he said, referring to the reorganization meeting. “And then for the whole year you will have where you want to meet.”

Council President Claire Remington and Councilman Wayne Figner voted against the change.

Gavornik also proposed holding an “informational night” for residents.

“We can share information on things we have going on here in town, whether its new people not knowing that they have a trash bill four times a year, or elderly people who need help and we can give them information,” she suggested.

The informational night would be held at the complex at a date to be determined.

“There are just too many people moving in that don’t know what their responsibilities are,” she said.

Others, she said, might be struggling financially and might not be aware of options if they are late with their municipal bills.

“There are positive things we can give to the community,” Gavornik said.
