Council discusses parking ordinance changes and use of license‑plate readers; zoning amendment deferred
Summary
Council discussed proposed parking ordinance changes for Municipal Lot #2 and reviewed the police chief’s information on license‑plate readers (LPRs); the council deferred action on a zoning amendment about small games of chance and pools in adjoining vacant lots until the solicitor is present.
Councilors discussed proposed amendments to the borough parking ordinance related to front‑end parking in Municipal Lot No. 2 and asked the Streets Supervisor to review the lot layout for angled parking.
Police Chief David Pernice provided information about license‑plate readers (LPRs), noting they can record plate history and be searched to assist investigations; he said the capability can aid investigations nationally and improve community protection. Council did not adopt ordinance language at the meeting and deferred related zoning changes (small games of chance and allowing pools in vacant adjoining lots) to a future meeting when the solicitor will be present.
No formal ordinance amendment vote was taken at this meeting; council asked staff to review lot layouts and to have the solicitor available for the next discussion of zoning and ordinance changes.
