ORDER OF SPEAKING: Those physically present in Town Hall will have the first opportunity to speak followed by signed-up phone commenters, and finally, phone commenters that did not sign up ahead of the meeting. If you are signed up to speak by phone, the Council President will call you from (610) 997-7963.
