As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the state of emergency declared by the Federal, State and Local governments, the Borough of Parkside provides the following announcement:
Until further notice, monthly Borough Council meetings will be held remotely via electronic video among the Council and essential Borough staff. A recorded version of the meeting will then be posted/linked to the Borough’s website at www.parksideborough.com for public viewing.
Agendas for Borough Council meetings will be posted a minimum of 24 hours ahead of the scheduled meeting at www.parksideborough.com/meeting-minutes.

Comments and questions must be submitted no later than 12:00 PM on the day of the scheduled meeting. All questions and comments will be read at the time of the meeting and recorded into the minutes of each Council meeting.
While the Borough regrets any inconvenience this may cause, in a good faith effort to insure public participation while simultaneously protecting everyone’s health and safety, the Parkside Borough Council feels compelled to implement this process during these challenging and unprecedented times. ******************************************************************************************************** Due to the heavy volume of household trash, starting Friday, April 3, 2020, our trash hauler, B & L, will be picking up bulk (heavy) trash every Friday.

The event has created the need for the Emergency Services Personnel to take several precautions while maintaining our level of service to the community. With that in mind, the Parkside Borough Police Department will adhere to the following modifications to our response and interaction with our residents. Officers who receive a radio report of an incident will review all information provided by the 911 center to determine the proper response. Some calls will continue to require our officers to respond and take appropriate action. In these cases, that is exactly what they will do. In other cases, the officer may call the individual back via telephone to ascertain the issue at hand. In those cases, the officer may determine that he can gather sufficient information via the phone to file the proper report. Officers may give answers to questions or provide advice to residents, make a report and not respond to your residence or business depending on the circumstances. When responding to your calls, officers may request that you step outside to speak with them. This is done in order to maintain social distancing and limit the potential to exposure. Our goal is to continue to serve the residents of Parkside while at the same time protecting our officers and their families. Should one of our officers become exposed to the coronavirus the impact could have a severe impact on our ability to serve you. With this in mind, we ask for your understanding and cooperation during these difficult times.
Thank you Thomas J. Murray Jr. Chief of Police *******************************************************************************************************************************
