Council on Monday accepted Police Chief John Gilligan's resignation from
the position of emergency management coordinator. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Council voted to appoint Sgt. Joseph Kopko to the non-paying position. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mayor Bob DiPietro cited Gilligan's recent back operation as the reason
for his resignation. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 DiPietro said the borough's emergency management coordinator will develop
contingency plans and work with state police ``in the event of civil
disorder'' or other emergencies caused by possible Year 2000 computer
glitches. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In other business: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Council voted to add a second yard waste removal day on Nov. 23. The extra
pickup will cost the borough $540. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Council voted to allow Attorney Mark Bufalino to prepare and advertise an
ordinance changing Borough Secretary Karen Pokorney's title to borough
manager. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 DiPietro said the change will allow Pokorney to sign legal documents for
the borough. Council already voted to approve the title change but DiPietro
said a new and advertised ordinance stating the change was necessary. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The title change will not include a salary increase for Pokorney. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Councilman Bob Guilford announced the completion of an entrance ramp for
the borough building. The ramp was paid for by a Community Development Grant. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
