Council hears reports on knotweed, septic citation and sidewalk shoveling enforcement
Summary
Reports to council noted knotweed removal at the pre‑release center, a septic that was not pumped at 249 Laurel Run Rd (citation to be filed), and a complaint that sidewalks are not being shoveled; council directed the secretary to notify codes enforcement.
During committee reports at the Jan. 5, 2026 meeting, Parks & Property reported that knotweed was removed at the pre‑release center. Sanitation & Health reported one septic system had not been pumped at 249 Laurel Run Road; the minutes state that Code Inspections, Inc. will file a citation related to that address. Council also discussed sidewalks not being shoveled and instructed the secretary to contact Codes Inspection about violations.
The police chief reported five calls during the period and the fire chief reported 310 total calls year‑to‑date (135 fire calls and 175 ambulance calls) as recorded in the minutes. These operational reports were listed under standing committee reports and generated administrative follow‑up rather than motions recorded as votes.
