Sharps-disposal and building-inspection revolving fund ordinances postponed for redrafting
Summary
The ordinance committee postponed consideration of a sharps-disposal ordinance and an inspection revolving fund to a future meeting to allow sponsors and staff more time to revise language.
Two ordinance items were postponed by the Brockton Ordinance Committee on April 3. Councilor Jeff Thompson requested a postponement of an ordinance to adopt a sharps-disposal plan in Brockton so he could continue drafting and return at the next ordinance meeting. Separately, a proposed inspection revolving fund for the Building Department was postponed to allow further discussion between the CFO and the building commissioner.
On the sharps-disposal ordinance (Item 1), Councilor Thompson said the proposal "is not yet ripe for debate or, consideration for passage" and asked to postpone to the next ordinance committee meeting; the committee voted to postpone. On the inspection revolving fund (Item 3), Councilor Fava said he had discussed the item with the CFO and requested a postponement "to allow the parties to get together and work out any details that need to be resolved" and the committee voted to postpone that item as well.
Both matters were rescheduled for the next ordinance committee meeting so sponsors and department staff could refine the proposals and provide any requested supporting documentation.
