Lansford Borough Council on Tuesday wrapped up some unfinished business, including advertising for street milling again.

Council approved placing a second advertisement for bids for street milling after receiving no bids on the first go-around.

Councilman George Gilbert said that council was given some incorrect information about contractors only doing milling and paving, and there are firms that do milling only.

Council hopes to secure bids from one of these firms to get paving done this year.

Council also increased Shane Monk’s pay to $27.50 an hour, starting the next payroll cycle.

Monk was elevated to full-time status as code enforcement officer in February and was making $25 an hour.

Gilbert pointed out that the borough did not budget for this increase and it’ll show as a loss, but Monk has proved his value in the borough, he said.

Council President Bruce Markovich said after the meeting that council felt that since Monk is taking on multiple jobs, including rental licensing and inspections, that he would be adequately compensated.

The borough was paying ARRO Engineering $75 an hour to perform code enforcement work, he said.

Monk was also recently hired under a 90-day contract as a part-time code officer in neighboring Coaldale Borough.

In other business, council approved paperwork transferring the Tamaqua Transfer garbage contact to the new owner, Casella Waste Systems.

Nothing will change in the five-year contract with the new owner honoring the terms, Tamaqua Transfer president Larry Wittig had told council earlier this month.

Council also accepted the insurance settlement for two pieces of equipment destroyed in a fire in the borough garage earlier this year.

The borough will be getting $141,307 for the street sweeper and $20,258 for the vacuum truck.

Council also approved a policy regarding the use of police body cameras, which was also reviewed by the police union.
