At the start of public comment, Peter Prince of 122 Conway Avenue asked borough officials how snow-emergency rules are applied and why he received more than $250 in parking tickets after not moving a vehicle during a recent snowfall.

Borough staff and the chief of police (speaking for operations) said notifications are issued through Everbridge (the borough's emergency alert system), the borough website, the emailed newsletter and social media. Staff advised residents to sign up for the borough's 'stay informed' alerts (text, phone and email) to receive snow-emergency notifications. Staff said the posted regulation technically requires vehicles to move within one hour after the start of snowfall, but enforcement does not apply strictly in every circumstance and staff try not to inconvenience residents when a declaration is unnecessary.

On the question of overnight parking in the borough's back parking lot (similar to a permit arrangement on Sabine Avenue), staff said the back lot is not generally an overnight-permit lot; overnight parking in borough lots is allowed only during an emergency declaration. Staff said on precautionary nights the borough tries to announce a snow emergency hours in advance (for example, giving people eight hours to move vehicles) to limit daytime disruption. For the current evening, staff said no emergency had been declared.

On enforcement logistics, staff noted meter-office functions and parking enforcement assist with ticketing; they recommended residents sign up for Everbridge to get timely alerts. The staff response closed the public comment item; the resident said he would provide his cellphone information and sign up for alerts.
