Residents tell Bern supervisors of problems with Pocono Beagle Club; solicitor says township has no jurisdiction
Summary
Two Butter Lane residents raised concerns about the Pocono Beagle Club; Township Solicitor Keith Mooney told them the township lacks jurisdiction and advised seeking private legal counsel.
During public comment, residents Michael Debkowski (541 Butter Lane) and Angela Potts (545 Butter Lane) raised concerns about disturbances caused by the Pocono Beagle Club.
Township Solicitor Keith Mooney responded that the township has no jurisdiction over the matter as described by the residents and recommended they consult private counsel. Supervisors offered opinions but no formal action or directive was recorded.
The township did not take enforcement action during the meeting; the solicitor’s guidance indicated the issue may need to be pursued through private legal channels or other authorities with jurisdiction.
