Media looking to Borrow......for what?

Oct 16, 2014 Agenda Item

Interesting line item in this month's Borough Council agenda showing the consultant services of PFM Group.  It's not clear why this company was hired, but they do specialize in financial borrowing for municipalities.  What is Media looking to borrow and for what?  Are taxes about to go up?!?!?!

Condolences for the loss of Chili Dane

R.I.P Chili

Very sad news to hear the passing of Chili Dane, Media's most famous four-legged ambassador of State Street.  Chili was the deaf Great Dane that was often seen at the Plum Street mall with his owner Hank.  My deepest sympathy and condolences.

Edgemont and Jefferson lot.
People have noticed the heavy equipment onsite which looks to be getting ready for excavation. Well, it is.  It appears the plan is to move ahead with the "vertical townhomes" I mentioned way back when in this article.  Not a whole lot of information yet, but the fact they are beginning is a major milestone for this location.

 
Water Towers Painted
The Media water towers up on N. Monroe have finally been painted and look quite good.  In the grand scheme of things, that may not be big news, but I did report a few weeks ago that there were questions as to why they stopped.

Campaign Sign Season
So far, we haven't seen the bumper crop of campaign signs we normally see at this time of year.  I'm sure that'll change in the next few weeks, but at least it's not as bad as what goes on in Delaware and Maryland.  Down there, especially around Annapolis, they've had campaign signs out for weeks with sign sizes as big as 4'x8' in people's yards.

Santa's Parade this November 30th
I was invited down to take a look at the preparations for Media's First Annual Christmas Parade/Fun Run and I can tell you I was quite impressed.  Not only by the contributions from a host of sponsors, but also by how well this is organized.  The town is going to be pretty amazed by the acts alone, but the whole day should be quite special for Media.
