Residents urge simpler banners, question enforcement of Pitman noise rules
Summary
During the public comment period two residents urged simpler, seasonal banners and asked whether the Borough enforces its noise ordinance, with Mr. Flaherty citing borough work schedules that he said fall outside noise limits.
Two residents spoke during the Borough's public comment period. Richard Musto of 37 Bellevue Ave suggested changing the direction of banner poles so they run parallel to the sidewalk and do not protrude into the street, a practical fix tied to the council's banner-policy discussion. "suggested changing the direction of banner poles, so they run parallel with the sidewalk and do not protrude into the street," his comment appears verbatim in the minutes.
Mike Flaherty of 300 Cleveland Ave urged keeping banners seasonal and simple and asked whether the Borough is required to follow and enforce its own ordinances—particularly the noise ordinance—citing borough work schedules that he said fall outside the ordinance. The transcript records that Mr. Flaherty "inquired whether the Borough is required to follow and enforce its own ordinances, particularly regarding noise." Mayor Razze asked Mr. Flaherty if he would remain to finish his comments at the regular meeting; Mr. Flaherty agreed.
Council did not take formal action in response during the work session; the comments were entered into the public record and may be addressed at the regular meeting.
