Myersville council adopts three ordinances, introduces several others; approves historical society donation and water-bill relief
Summary
On July 8, 2025, the Myersville Town Council adopted three ordinances (definitions; eating-and-drinking establishments; hours of operation), introduced five more (zoning, bicycles, prohibited uses, hogs, agricultural animals), approved $3,000 to the Wolfsville Myersville Historical Society, and granted water-bill relief to a resident; most motions passed unanimously.
Mayor Mark Hinkle opened the Town of Myersville council meeting on July 8, 2025, where the council adopted three ordinances, introduced several additional measures, approved a donation to the local historical society and granted relief to a resident’s repaired water leak.
The council adopted Ordinance 2025-06 (definitions), Ordinance 2025-08 (eating and drinking establishments) and Ordinance 2025-09 (hours of operation). Councilmember Mark Flynn moved each ordinance; Councilmember Wayne Creadick Jr. seconded the motions, and each carried by a 5–0 vote. The ordinances update local code language and rules for restaurants and operating hours, as reviewed by Mayor Mark Hinkle and Town Planner Brandon Boldyga.
The council also introduced multiple new ordinances for further consideration: Ordinance 2025-11 (Village Center District maximum building size), 2025-12 (bicycles), 2025-13 (prohibited uses), 2025-14 (hogs) and 2025-15 (agricultural animals). Town Planner Brandon Boldyga summarized staff changes to the Village Center District language during the public hearing; each introduction was moved and seconded and passed on a preliminary vote of 5–0, advancing the measures to the next step in the town’s ordinance process.
Town Planner Brandon Boldyga told the council staff reviewed historical fee schedules and comparable jurisdiction data and recommended raising water and sewer connection (tap) fees to $10,000 per connection to reflect inflation and updated cost assumptions; the mayor and council agreed to move forward with that update, which will require formal adoption at a later meeting.
The council considered a water-leak relief request from resident Richard Phelps. The leak was repaired and the applicant had submitted the required paperwork; Councilmember Mark Flynn moved to provide relief under the applicable town code, seconded by Wayne Creadick Jr., and the motion carried 5–0.
The council also considered a donation request from the Wolfsville Myersville Historical Society. Judy Zeck, speaking for the society, outlined annual programs and storage needs and asked the town for $4,000. Councilmember Mark Flynn moved to grant $4,000, then amended the motion on the floor to $3,000; the amended motion, seconded by Dan Long, carried 5–0.
Routine items and housekeeping included staff updates on IT and website work (Josh Massey), trash and parks equipment deliveries, and event planning such as National Night Out. Pursuant to the State Open Meetings Act and the town charter, the council moved to an executive session at the meeting’s close to discuss a personnel matter and then adjourned.
Actions recorded in the meeting were carried unanimously where votes are recorded; specific motions and vote tallies were included in the official minutes on file with the town.
