Council reviews and edits excavation permit; notes existing ordinance needs update

Matamoras Borough Council · September 10, 2024

Summary

After an executive session, council reviewed a revised excavation permit, made minor edits, and noted §105 (Streets and Sidewalks Article IV Street Excavations) will need review to enforce the revised permit; no further action taken.

Council reconvened from an executive session at 9:00 p.m. on Sept. 10 to review a revised excavation permit that had been distributed to members. Council members made minor edits focused on typographical corrections and clarifications of requirements, and the secretary was directed to produce a clean revised copy for later consideration.

Shawn Bolles, zoning/code enforcement officer and park manager, told council that the borough's current ordinance — cited in the meeting as "§105 Streets and Sidewalks Article IV Street Excavations" — will need to be reviewed to allow enforcement of the revised permit. Solicitor Jason Ohliger participated in discussion of violation procedures and enforcement options. No final vote or ordinance change was adopted at the meeting.
