Bob Kurdock, 15 Rhodes Court
Mr. Kurdock asked whether the new candy store and the expansion of Henry’s Plumbing were a
result of the works of the Economic Development Committee (EDC). Council President
Matthews replied the EDC approached Henry’s Plumbing after they expressed a desire to expand
and the candy store sought out this available location. Mr. Kurdock mentioned while watching
the council work session meeting last week on cable channel 77, it suddenly switched to a
freeholders meeting. Mayor Goldberg interjected when the bulletin board is not working it
defaults to a live signal, a public access channel. Mr. Kurdock asked what happened on
Brockhuizen Lane and Highview Terrace. Engineer Boswell responded there was storm damage
to the roads and some to the guardrails. Mr. Kurdock stated he received a notice of storm
damage in Lafayette Hills. It was explained that is private property and must have come from
the condo association. Mr. Kurdock thanked the council.
Council President Matthews asked if anyone else wished to be heard. Seeing none, Council
President Matthews entertained a motion to close the public comment portion of the meeting,
moved by Councilman Lane, seconded by Council Vice President Bertollo. On roll call, all
voted yes.
