Perkasie Council authorizes public hearing to remove three construction code chapters
Summary
Council voted unanimously to authorize the Borough Solicitor to advertise a public hearing on an ordinance that would delete Chapters 70 (Building Construction), 132 (Plumbing) and 133 (Mechanical) from the Borough Code Book; a public hearing will be scheduled before any final action.
At its April 21 meeting, Perkasie Borough Council unanimously approved a motion authorizing the Borough Solicitor to advertise a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that would delete Chapter 70 (Building Construction), Chapter 132 (Plumbing) and Chapter 133 (Mechanical Code) from the Borough Code Book.
Councilman Randy Faulkner moved to authorize the advertisement and was seconded by Robin Schilling. Borough Solicitor Jeffrey Garton will place notice of the public hearing; the minutes do not record the hearing date. The motion was procedural and only authorizes advertisement—no ordinance was adopted at this meeting.
Council documents referenced in the agenda indicate the change is limited to deleting those sections; the minutes did not include the solicitor’s legal rationale or the draft ordinance language. The public hearing will provide an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to comment before Council votes on any ordinance removal.
