Assembly approves nepotism standards for elected officials
Summary
The Petersburg Borough Assembly approved Ordinance #2026-15 on second reading to add disclosure and recusal rules for elected officials with family financial interests, voting unanimously.
The Petersburg Borough Assembly unanimously approved Ordinance #2026-15 on second reading, adopting nepotism standards for elected officials that create disclosure and recusal requirements when a family member has a substantial financial interest in a matter before the borough. The ordinance also prohibits participation in certain employment-related decisions involving family members.
Assembly Member Jeff Meucci moved the measure and Assembly Member James Valentine seconded; the action passed by unanimous roll call vote. The ordinance was described as fulfilling a Borough Charter requirement to establish nepotism standards.
The changes amend Title 3 of the Petersburg Borough Code to require officials to disclose family financial interests and to recuse themselves when conflicts meet the ordinance threshold. The assembly recorded no public testimony on the ordinance during the hearing stage.
