Ordinance #2021-16 was unanimously approved in its first and second readings.
The purpose of Ordinance #2021-15 is to 1) move the chapter into borough code; 2) amend or remove antiquated language; 3) delete duties that have historically not been performed by the local health officer; 4) delete the health officer's power to compel vaccinations, currently provided for in section 9.04.040; 5) add language to ensure that actions of the health officer under 9.04.020 (A) and (B) are taken only under the direction of either the borough manager or the borough assembly; 6) include a new section 9.04.040 that outlines the required substance of health officer directives, to ensure that directives are factually based, designed to be as least restrictive as possible, and are in the best interests of public health; and 7) provide a fine in the event of violation of a directive (new section 9.04.050).
Ordinance #2021-17, if adopted, will 1) add provisions to address concerns regarding bears accessing refuse containers located in residential neighborhoods, including establishment of a fine for noncompliance; 2) change collection of recyclables from once per week to once every two weeks; 3) add a section to address the disposal of vehicles; and 4) update collection and on-site disposal rates.
