Union City to advertise tenant-registration amendment allowing repeat fines for noncompliance
Summary
Council voted to advertise a change to the borough’s Tenant Registration that would allow multiple fines per year for landlords or tenants who fail to provide required information; the council approved the advertisement unanimously.
Councilors voted on Sept. 16 to advertise an amendment to the borough’s Tenant Registration that would permit charging violators more than once in a year if they fail to provide required information. Councilor Steadman moved to advertise the amendment and Councilor Osborn seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Borough Manager Cindy Wells described the proposed change as a measure to improve compliance, saying the amendment would allow repeated charges for repeat failures. The council did not debate the substance at length before moving to advertise the ordinance for public review and comment. The advertisement step begins the formal public-notice process required before any final ordinance vote.
Next steps include a public-notice period and a future council meeting where the proposed amendment would return for consideration of final adoption or further amendment. The council did not record any public opposition during the meeting.
