Council discusses parking‑ordinance changes and notes police use of license‑plate readers
Summary
Council members discussed proposed changes to the parking ordinance for Municipal Lot #2, asked staff to review angled‑parking layouts, and heard Police Chief Pernice describe license‑plate‑reader capabilities; zoning changes related to small games of chance and allowing pools on adjoining vacant lots were deferred until the Solicitor is present.
Union City Borough Council discussed proposed amendments to the borough parking ordinance on June 25, including a plan to change front‑end parking in Municipal Lot No. 2 and consideration of angled parking. Council asked Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips to review the lot layout and provide recommendations on angled parking.
Police Chief David Pernice told council that license‑plate readers (LPRs) used by the department can store video, search plates across the system and assist investigations “anywhere in the country.” He said the technology helps protect the community and can assist investigations, and council asked staff to consider Chief comments as they review proposed lot changes. The transcript records Chief Pernice describing how the LPR system can be used and that Solicitor review of some police policies is pending.
Council decided to defer discussion of proposed zoning amendments related to small games of chance and allowing pools in vacant adjoining lots until the Solicitor can attend a future meeting.
