Audio: Columbia Borough Council Meeting - July 11, 2023

 

Columbia Borough officials recently discontinued livestreaming meetings in favor of recording them and posting them on the borough's YouTube channel the next day. The July 11, 2023 meeting, held a week ago, has not been posted. Columbia Spy has posted an audio recording of the meeting, above.

At the meeting, Pastor Wayne Scott (shown above) of Ashley Tabernacle Church of God gently chided Columbia Borough officials about their focus on the downtown at the expense of other aspects of the community: 

"While we're building up downtown - we love what you're doing - don't forget the poor. Don't  forget the rest of the community."

His comments, which were made during a discussion of a block party to be held on South 5th Street, start at 31:45 on the recording.
