Summary

Council agreed to use generic wording for Safe Exchange Zone signage and Police Chief Ryan DeFalco raised the need to define and identify a Court Security Officer employment position for the borough's court functions.

Woodstown councilors discussed proposed language for Safe Exchange Zone signage during the July 14 meeting. Councilman Glenn Merkle suggested using generic verbiage instead of quoting the ordinance; Council and Police Chief Ryan DeFalco agreed to that approach. The minutes do not include the final sign text but record the consensus on generic wording.

Chief DeFalco also discussed the need to identify and define a Court Security Officer employment position. The minutes record the chief raising the staffing/position definition issue but do not include job specifications, funding information, or an immediate personnel action; those details would be developed by the police department and presented to council in subsequent staff reports.
