PLYMOUTH &#8212; Councilman Gary Kochinski said at this past week&#8217;s council meeting that the borough will participate in the national &#8220;Click it or Ticket&#8221; campaign at no additional cost to the borough.The campaign specifies that if you are a driver 18 or older and police pull you over for another violation, you&#8217;ll receive a second ticket if you or your front-seat passengers aren&#8217;t wearing seat belts.Kochinski also gave the following reports on the police department. The VSA (voice system analysis) training has been helping out with investigations within the borough. The training was mostly paid for from a grant where the borough&#8217;s portion was $1,500 out of the $9,000 total cost.A full-time school resources officer has been hired through a Community Orientated Policing Services (COPS) grant, and another full-time officer has been hired to fill a previous vacancy.Council President William Dixon stated that Vice President James Mahon has cost the borough unnecessary money by insisting on being personally given copies of the borough&#8217;s spending practices. During the public meeting, Dixon presented Mahon with the requested copies, but said that Mahon could have easily accessed them on his own. Dixon added that all money that the borough spends is accounted for, documented and readily available.Council voted to distribute 2015 tax allotment to the Plymouth Borough Library. All members voted for the approval, with the exception of James Mahon, who voted against the motion, and Thomas McTague, who was absent from the meeting.Council voted to distribute 2015 tax allotment to Plymouth Borough fire departments 1, 2 and 3.Council approved police Officer Michael Thomas to attend the carbine instructor certification course. The course will qualify Thomas to serve as an instructor to train other officers in small arms procedures and processes.Council will hold its next monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on June 9.
