Resident reports activity at newly licensed sober-living house; council says it is monitoring
Summary
A neighbor reported seeing suspicious activity near a recently state-licensed sober-living property; councilmembers said special counsel is engaged, the borough is monitoring, and residents should report incidents to the special committee or council emails so counsel can evaluate enforcement under local ordinance.
Resident Christine Clark reported concerns that a recently state-licensed property has seen activity (a person seen in bushes near the house) shortly after the state granted a license. Clark asked what recourse the borough has and whether police or counsel had been notified.
Council members said the borough's special counsel is handling the matter and that the town had previously notified the property owner the facility could not operate as a sober-living house under local ordinance. "We are closely monitoring what's going on there and if there's any activity ... we will address that accordingly," a council member said. Residents were advised to forward reports to council contacts or the special-committee email for collation and counsel review.
Council reiterated that there are limits to public comments in an open meeting when counsel is involved but assured the public the borough will act if it sees operational activity contrary to local ordinance.
