The borough manager told the caucus on May 8 that the borough will advertise an amendment to "ordinance 2 20 dash 70" (described as abatement and policing of violations) to permit the borough to issue citations for vehicle‑related violations that occur on private property. He also said staff will advertise a new ordinance to regulate tarp‑covered cars on public streets and that the borough will adopt an updated centralized fee schedule for permits ("E Code 3 60").
"This will allow the borough to lehi citation for vehicle related violations that occur on private property," the manager said (transcript wording). Councilors and staff then discussed enforcement follow‑through and court scheduling.
Councilor members raised concerns that many citations appear in the borough's report but few court appearances are scheduled. The code enforcement official told council that the borough does not control court scheduling and that the court typically issues dates months after infractions; councillors said they would follow up with Judge Williams and seek a clearer timeline for outstanding matters.
Councilors said the ability to directly issue borough citations was intended to streamline enforcement so the code office would not have to wait for the magistrate's calendar. The manager described the proposed change as a step to "draft our own citation" and act more promptly on violations.
No vote was taken at the caucus; the manager said the items will be advertised and presented at upcoming legislative meetings for formal action.
