Township re-adopts Armstrong County UCC, names representative and appeals rep
Summary
Gilpin Township voted to rejoin the Armstrong County UCC and appointed Jeremy Smell as municipal representative and Gary as the appeals hearing representative; the board discussed eligibility and conflicts for appeal panelists.
The board voted to rejoin the Armstrong County Uniform Construction Code (UCC) enforcement group and authorized appointments related to UCC representation.
Motion to adopt the UCC ordinance passed by voice vote; supervisors then appointed Jeremy Smell as the municipal representative to the Armstrong County UCC group. For the UCC appeals hearing representative (a non-elected local resident without code-enforcement duties), Scott Popovich initially volunteered but the board ultimately appointed Gary to the role after confirming residency and minimal construction knowledge.
The solicitor clarified that the township had formally left the county UCC group earlier and that the current action is to rejoin the county group; supervisors discussed statutory limits on who may serve as an appeals representative and confirmed advertising/notice requirements for related hearings.
