Slatington resident Kris Burek attended the meeting to thank council for the $5,000 donation for the Senior Center of Slatington.

Burek would like to see the borough office open until 6:30 p.m. on the three Mondays a month that Council has meetings.

She said, “Residents work. They have a hard time to make it during the day when the office is open, 8 a.m. to 4:30.”

Burek also asked Council to look at the water and sewer billing.

“The water minimum is 8,000 gallons at $93 a quarter for single homes. A 4-unit apartment building uses like 24,000 gallons and is charged the minimum of 8,000 gallons. This is not fair.”

She asked Council to look at ordinance 455 and 456.

In other business:

• Council approved a request from Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor for a bike ride on Sept. 13, from Slatington Trailhead to Weissport.

• Approval to St. John’s UCC to hold their Peach Festival from 3 to 7 p.m. Aug. 23 at Memorial Park.

• Approved Truist to transition all pension business to principal.
