Council approves first reading of trailer parking ordinance and ratifies administrative hire
Summary
The Shamonkin (Shamokin) council held routine business on June agenda items, approving the first reading of Ordinance 24-03 on trailer and RV parking and ratifying the hiring of a deputy administrative assistant; both measures carried unanimously though individual vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Shamonkin City Council moved forward on two formal actions at its June meeting, approving the first reading of an ordinance restricting trailer and recreation vehicle parking and ratifying the council’s selection to fill a vacant deputy administrative assistant position.
Clerk introduced Ordinance 24-03, described as a revision to chapter 4-78 addressing trailers and recreation vehicles, including prohibitions on parking at certain times and a 48-hour written-notice requirement before removal for violations. The Clerk read the ordinance text aloud and the council moved to advertise the ordinance for first reading; the motion was seconded and “the motion carries unanimously,” according to the meeting record.
A separate personnel motion to ratify the hiring of an applicant selected by the interview committee to fill the deputy administrative assistant vacancy was requested by a council member; council members voiced affirmative responses and the motion carried. The transcript records the outcome as carried but does not list a roll-call with individual names or a numeric vote tally.
The council also approved the meeting minutes and bills for May 2024 during routine business without extended discussion. Financial figures and account balances were read into the record during the meeting (see finance summary in related article).
What’s next: Ordinance 24-03 will proceed through the city’s ordinance-adoption process beginning with this first reading and public advertisement. The ratified hire will be processed per city personnel procedures.
