Council debates license‑plate readers and parking changes; zoning amendments deferred until solicitor present
Summary
Councilors discussed proposed parking ordinance changes — including angled parking and license‑plate‑reader capabilities described by the police chief — and deferred zoning amendments on small games of chance and pools in adjoining vacant lots until the Solicitor can attend.
A discussion about amending the parking ordinance centered on potential changes to Municipal Lot #2 and license‑plate‑reader (LPR) technology. Police Chief David Pernice told council that the department’s LPR system can record video and search license plates nationwide, and that the system can assist investigations beyond the borough. Council asked Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips to review the lot layout for possible angled parking.
Separately, councilors reviewed proposed zoning amendments related to small games of chance and permitting pools in vacant adjoining lots but decided to defer those zoning changes until the Solicitor is present at a future meeting to provide legal guidance.
No ordinance amendments were adopted at the June 25 meeting; both matters will return for further review.
