# Milltown Borough Council Meeting - 10/26/2026

The Milltown Borough Council meeting on October 26, 2026, included approval of a resolution authorizing payment of municipal bills, claims, and statements; the transcript’s stated total is garbled, so the amount cannot be confirmed. During public comment, a resident asked about roughly $56,000 in charges to Prime Electric for storm-related line work. Borough officials said most of the work was needed after a recent storm and was outsourced amid electric-department staffing shortages. They reported that the vacant position had been posted and that they were discussing possible budget changes for the following year to reduce reliance on outside services. No new contract award or solicitation was identified.

Council also discussed the borough’s battery-storage project, which was still undergoing testing and punch-list work, with startup targeted for November. Officials described a possible PJM program but said the project’s financial benefits were not yet determined; the existing contract is for 15 years. Other discussion included proposed handicap parking spaces, flooding, redevelopment, and street lighting, but no related purchasing decisions or spending actions were reported.
