On Thursday -6- December the Bogota Borough Council had their first meeting for the month of December. A major topic of discussion was the purchase of an electronic tree to be placed in front of Borough Hall. This was purchase in November, along with an Menorah and other figures to be displayed during the Holiday season. All the items were purchase using fund from the Recreation Commission. However the total cost exceeded the limit that could spend without putting the purchase out to bid. Mayor Kelemen took full responsibility for the error and the Menorah and other figure were returned.
Then there was a quick call to vote on the purchase of the tree. This was passed by a 4 to 3 vote with Mayor Kelemen breaking the tie. Then another vote was taken, this one was to purchase a Menorah for next year. The motion was passed 5-1.
