Many residents were opposed to the measure, however, The Record reported. There will still be a public hearing and council vote, on a second reading of the ordinance, before it's final.

DeSalvo has been performing duties of a borough administrator since early last year, when Richard Sheola resigned, to take another job, The Record reported.
