Council delays parking and zoning ordinance changes after brief discussion on license plate readers
Summary
Council deferred proposed amendments to the parking ordinance and zoning changes on small games of chance and pools in adjoining vacant lots until the solicitor can attend; Police Chief David Pernice noted the department's license plate readers can search plates nationwide and assist investigations.
Union City Borough Council discussed proposed amendments to the parking ordinance affecting Municipal Lot No. 2 and zoning changes related to small games of chance and allowing pools in vacant adjoining lots but decided to defer both items until the borough solicitor can attend a future meeting.
During the parking discussion, Police Chief David Pernice described the borough’s license plate readers (LPRs), saying the system captures video and allows plate searches that can assist investigations beyond the borough. He also noted that council asked the Streets Supervisor to review angled parking and lot layout before any ordinance change is adopted. The minutes record no formal motion to change the ordinance; council agreed to wait for solicitor review.
On zoning changes, council members agreed to postpone discussion of small games of chance and pool regulations in vacant adjoining lots until the solicitor is present.
