Public commenters raise enforcement and procedural concerns during public comment period
Summary
Public comment focused on meeting procedure and enforcement of existing sawmill convictions; one commenter said she felt shut down during deliberations and the facilitator clarified when public comment is allowed.
During the public‑comment portion of the Codorus Township Planning Commission meeting, Carolyn Bupp expressed frustration about being "shut down during deliberations" and questioned enforcement of existing convictions for sawmill operators, asking why new ordinances would be enforced if current convictions are not. The meeting facilitator responded that "Public comment is allowed at designated times; during deliberation, unless a vote is being taken, public comment is not required."
The commission acknowledged the concern and said enforcement and ordinance language would be considered in the sawmill ordinance review and in the solicitor’s follow‑up. Nathan Hobbs attended to meet Boy Scout merit‑badge requirements; no additional formal actions resulted from the public comment period.
