Personnel continues to dominate discussion in Weissport as the borough seeks a secretary and a tax collector.

Council held a shortened general meeting on Monday evening. On the agenda was a motion to appoint and bond a new secretary. That was postponed.

“The candidate that was going to be coming to this meeting has backed out,” Council Member Jennifer Ketchledge reported. “So we will need to repost the position.”

Cheryl Miller left the position in July.
