Board attorney finds residency complaint unfounded after review
Summary
The clerk read a letter from the board attorney stating that while board membership requires residency in the borough, it does not require sleeping there every night; an investigation found the public complaint about a board member's residency to be unfounded.
The clerk read a letter from the board attorney addressing a public complaint questioning whether a board member must live in the borough they serve. The attorney’s written reply, read aloud to the meeting, said residency is required but "it did not require the board member to sleep every night at his or her residence," and reported that the concerns raised in the complaint were investigated and found to be unfounded.
The reading returned the matter to the board as a closed administrative finding; no further action was announced during the meeting. The clerk said the letter came from the board attorney and was provided in response to the prior public comment.
