Icy sidewalks at bus stops specifically at the former Lansford High School bus stop concerns Lansford Mayor James Romankow.

However, he was told that since the location is private property, there is little the borough can do.Recent ice storms have created what Romankow said was a hazard for students at the bus stop.The council agreed to send a letter to Panther Valley School District expressing concerns about the matter. The bus stop is on Bertsch Street.Romankow asked if the borough could do something about the icy condition. He was advised that this would make the borough liable if something happened on the site.The building is privately owned and will be coming up for a tax sale, it was reported.In other business:The council noted that property owners are delinquent by $66,000 in garbage collection bills.In addition, the borough is owed $61,000 for properties where liens exist.By a 4-3 vote, the council agreed to publicize the names of the delinquents in the Times News.In favor of publishing the names were Council President Martin Ditsky, Tommy Vadyak, Joe Butrie and Colin Jones. Opposed were Mary Soberick, Samantha Yasson and Rose Mary Cannon.The council will check on prices to have new security cameras installed at the Municipal Building.Romankow said for safety reasons, he is having police officers park cruisers on Ridge Street, in front of the municipal building, instead of at the side entrance to the police department.The council agreed to permit the Friends of the Pool to have fundraisers to raise money for the Lansford Municipal Pool.The motion passed by a 6-1 vote, with Vadyak the dissenter.The council agreed unanimously to change to town's snow emergency route from Bertsch Street to Patterson Street.Vadyak said he received complaints about the snowplows traveling too fast in town. Romankow said he saw one of the plows driving faster than what he thought was necessary.The plow drivers will be advised of the concern.The council said a storm sewer line collapsed in the 400 block of West Bertsch Street, and when borough workers went to repair it, they discovered an underground camera the borough owns isn't working.The council agreed to spend $1,086 to have the camera repaired, rather than purchasing a new one.Solicitor Michael Greek was instructed to put clarification in an ordinance about a property owner's obligation for repairing broken sewer lines. The ordinance will require the property owner to be responsible for the line to the point where it connects with the borough's central line.
