Union City Borough Council discussed proposed amendments to the parking ordinance for Municipal Lot No. 2 at its June 25 meeting and asked staff to review lot layout before returning with recommendations.
Police Chief David Pernice briefed councilors on license plate reader technology and its investigative utility, noting the system’s ability to search plates and assist investigations nationally; Chief Pernice also provided related video capabilities to inform the parking-layout discussion. Council asked Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips to review the lot layout with angled parking in mind. Council deferred formal amendment of the parking ordinance pending solicitor review.
Separately, council briefly discussed a separate proposed zoning amendment related to small games of chance and allowing pools in vacant adjoining lots; councilors decided to postpone that discussion until the solicitor is present at a future meeting.
