Weaver met Thursday with representatives of the state Governor's Center for Local Government Services, which helps administer the Act 47 program, to discuss how much money the borough needs to address immediate fiscal concerns and stay afloat through Dec. 31.

The borough will submit an application for emergency, short-term cash to the state within a couple of weeks and, if it is approved, the borough could receive the money in two months, Weaver said.

Mario Marini resigned in late April from the board that, among other things, is considering a potential multi-million dollar sale of the authority's water system. Council President Richard S. Houpt said the replacement must be a borough resident; two Hempfield Township candidates were turned away, he said.

But in Greenville, police could have another weapon to help keep wannabe speeders in check: a volunteer fleet of Sunday drivers. Houpt suggested that council look into the possibility of putting "pace cars" on borough streets to keep local traffic at safe speeds. Volunteer drivers would motor around town at or below the legal speed limit. Houpt said he read that the idea has worked in other communities, but he could not name any of them off-hand. For the past several months some residents have been calling for stricter enforcement of local speed limits, especially around the Little League complex and in residential areas.
