Hellertown Borough Council is looking for a new council person.

At the borough's June 16 meeting, long standing Councilwoman Gail Nolf formally announced her resignation.

Nolf said it was time to step down to allow another citizen an opportunity to serve the community.

"I'm at peace with this," she said. "I've been in public service most of my life. I will miss the people I work with."

Council has 30 days to appoint an individual to the vacant position.

In other business, council approved the future development of The Movies building, 1152 Main St.

Dr. James Newman initially submitted an application to the borough planning commission for redevelop the property into dental office space.

Borough Manager Cathy Hartranft said the original 8,064 square foot building will be reduced to 6,100 square feet.

The reduction in space will afford seven off street parking spaces directly off Oak Street.

Hartranft said the building has always maintained private ownership and is not affiliated with the borough.

Also during the meeting, council indicated it will begin its search for a junior council member. Junior council members typically come from the local high school and provide council with an additional perspective.

Council also announced the Dewey Fire Company Carnival will take place July 15 through the 19th.
