Council approves first reading of ordinance to regulate outdoor lighting, schedules Nov. 12 public hearing
Summary
The council moved, seconded and voted to pass Ordinance 2024-27 on first reading to amend borough property-maintenance rules for outdoor lighting; a public hearing and final reading were set for Nov. 12, 2024.
Council introduced Ordinance 2024-27, which would amend chapter 17 (property maintenance) to add a new section (17-14.101) regulating outdoor lighting. The ordinance was moved, seconded and a roll-call first-reading vote was recorded; multiple members voted "yes" and the ordinance was ordered advertised for a public hearing on Nov. 12, 2024.
The council's announcement described the change as a regulatory supplement to the property-maintenance chapter; the ordinance text will be advertised "according to law" and the public hearing will be the formal opportunity for residents to comment before a second-reading vote.
Mover and second were recorded in the meeting proceedings (motion followed by a second), and the clerk conducted a roll-call that returned affirmative votes from council members present. The council did not amend ordinance language during the first-reading segment.
The first-reading vote now sets a legal notice and hearing schedule; the ordinance will only take effect if the council adopts it at a later meeting following the public hearing and any required publication steps.
