Council adopts municipal pool utility ordinance; more ordinances introduced and hearings set
Summary
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 25‑15 establishing a municipal pool utility. The council also introduced ordinances on solid‑waste rules and construction site containment and set hearings for May 20.
The borough council voted on Tuesday to adopt Ordinance 25‑15, establishing a municipal pool utility. The ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote; several council members voted in favor.
The council also advanced additional ordinances for consideration. Councilmembers introduced an amendment to Chapter 19 (solid‑waste management) and a new section to Chapter 10 requiring containment of dust and plastics at construction sites; the hearing for the latter ordinance was set for May 20 at 7:30 p.m.
Why it matters: adopting a municipal pool utility creates a structure to set membership fees and operate the municipal pool; the adoption follows earlier public briefings and was taken on second and final reading at this meeting. The introduced ordinances will return for a public hearing and possible final action at a later meeting.
Council procedure: the mayor asked for public comment on the pool ordinance; none was offered at the hearing and the council then voted to adopt. The solid‑waste and construction‑site containment ordinances were introduced and scheduled for subsequent hearings.
