The Borough Council is set for two seats.

Borough Council Seats Ward 1:

Seat 1 - Donald Bateman, Jr. (Incumbent and ran unopposed)

Seat 2 - Unknown, but aside from about 10 versions of Donald Bateman the other name that was on the Write In ballots with 6 votes is Charlene Westcott(?) Don't know if she actually lives in Ward 1.

Borough Council Seat Ward 2: Betty Bucher

Leaving Council after 12/31/2009: William Brown, Kevin Clark (both Ward 2)

Terms ending in 12/31/2011: Rick Adams (2), Dave Wheeler (2) and Tim Mayers (1).

The reporters and papers rarely report on the Borough Council seats unless there is a race to cover. That was the case for the last two council races. They didn't even bother to print any information on platforms and such. A total disservice to the electorate, but space on a page costs money and those types of races are a waste of money to the editors.
