Message from Mayor David Runfeldt

Below is a duplicate copy of the message I sent out last week with my comments from the 2021 Re-Organization Meeting that took place last Monday, January 4, 2021.  
I would like to begin by welcoming everyone to what very likely may be the 99th annual re-organization meeting of the Borough of Lincoln Park and the first ever done on a virtual platform.  Thank you to the elected officials from throughout the county and state who may have joined us this evening or have contacted us this week.   And, of course, a special thank you to all the residents of our great town who have taken the time to watch and possibly participate tonight.

As I enter my 15th year as Mayor, I remain honored to serve the people of Lincoln Park. This is a privilege that I continue to take seriously and I am grateful for the support and trust this community has shown to me.  More importantly, I feel this Council, administration and I continue to make a difference in providing financial stability while promoting the growth, progress and future of our great town.

With the colder weather upon us, please remember some of these important safety tips to ensure the well-being of you and your loved ones.

It is important to make sure you check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors yearly. You want to make sure the batteries in both detectors are still good and working. The average shelf life for these detectors are 7 years. You can find the expiration date of your detector by taking it down and looking at the back of it. All new detectors are good for 10 years.
