Because of the many new trees planted along Main Street and the decay of some of the older trees in the Borough parks, the Borough realized the need to create a Shade Tree Commission. This Commission was established on July 7, 1999, by an ordinance enacted by Borough Council. The purpose of this Commission is to make recommendations to Borough Council regarding rules and regulations governing the planting, maintenance, fertilization, pruning, bracing, removal and ordering of trees.

SHADE TREE COMMISSION 

The Shade Tree Commission meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m., as needed.

Each term of office is for a period of five (5) years. (Initially, the first member shall serve three years, the second member shall serve four years, and the final member shall serve for five years.)
