Joy of Christmas

Mt. Pleasant Borough officials recently found they are missing a piece of borough history and records.

Council President Mike Tabita and Borough Manager Jeff Landy said they discovered that the borough minute books from 1828 to 1901 and July 1966 to January 1994 are missing.

“We’re not saying at this point that someone has taken them, but right now they’re not where they’re supposed to be,” Tabita said.

Landy will search the storage areas of all borough property to see if the books were just misplaced, but action will be taken if nothing turns up by the March 6 council meeting.

“We’ll announce at that time that the books are missing and give 30 days for the possibility of having them returned if they were taken,” Tabita said. “After the 30 days, we’ll offer a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of anyone who has possession of these books.”

In other business, Bauer is hoping by the next meeting to be able to order parking meters to replace those that aren’t working on Main Street.

He also will look into getting three different phone quotes for new Christmas wreath lights to hang in the borough.

The borough recently received a $10,000 grant through the state Department of Economic Development to purchase new Christmas lights.

Bauer expects the borough can purchase about 35 wreath lights with the grant money.
