Next item addressed was the request by Southside Fire Company to have the Borough help with the cost of a generator.  Much discussion was held on this topic with an Motion put on table to pursue an ad hoc committee to study the best place for a generator; this was made by John Novak.  The Motion was amended to do a study of the feasibility of a generator for St Peters UMC which is the EMA designated shelter in the case of disaster; this motion was made by John LaMotte and seconded by John Domanski. 

Motion carried as all were in favor.  Southside Fire Company would not be willing to get a generator to use at the church; would only like use at the fire company.
