Workshop meeting prior to being listed for action at a Regular Meeting. Where appropriate, items are referred to a
Council Committee for further study and investigation before being returned with a recommendation for the full
Council to consider. The members of the Borough Council work via committees along with the Mayor, Borough Clerk
