Council agrees to advertise deer‑feeding ordinance after planning commission survey
Summary
Council approved a motion allowing the borough manager to advertise a drafted wildlife‑feeding ordinance (focused on deer) so the ordinance can be formally considered in July; the planning commission reported about 400 survey responses helped shape the draft.
Council voted to authorize the borough manager to advertise a draft wildlife‑feeding ordinance (targeted at deer feeding) so that the ordinance may be formally considered at the next meeting after the required seven‑day public notice.
Miss Schwarz explained the planning commission prepared the draft after conducting a resident survey and consulting Game Commission guidance; she said, "we had what over 400 I think responses to the survey" and recommended sharing a high‑level summary with residents before the July discussion. Council clarified the motion would authorize advertising only; final changes may be made before a July vote.
The motion to authorize advertisement was seconded and passed with one recorded opposition. Council members asked staff to circulate a brief survey summary to inform public comment at the next meeting.
