A motion to postpone the filling of an open position in the street department until the proposed sale of the Tamaqua Community Center is completed failed at last night's regular council meeting. The motion was made by councilman Tom Cara, who said that if the sale of the building does not go through, the borough will be short $178,000 in their budget this year. He said that by not filling the street department position, the borough could make up approximately $50,000 of that shortfall.
