Council moves to advertise proposed tenant-registration change allowing multiple violations per year
Summary
Council voted unanimously to advertise a proposed amendment to the borough’s Tenant Registration to allow violators to be charged more than once per year when they fail to provide required information; the motion was to advertise the amendment, not to adopt it.
Union City Borough Council voted Sept. 16 to advertise a proposed amendment to the borough’s Tenant Registration ordinance that would permit charging a violator more than once in a 12-month period when the tenant fails to provide required information.
Borough Manager Cindy Wells introduced the proposal and said it would change the registration rules to allow repeated charges in a single year in cases where required information is not provided. Councilor Steadman moved to advertise the amendment and Councilor Osborn seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes record only the motion to advertise for consideration and public comment — they do not record the final text of the amendment or a schedule for a public hearing or adoption.
Because the council voted only to advertise the proposed change, the measure will return for further consideration after the advertisement period and any public comment the borough receives.
