WARRIOR RUN — Council members on Monday night were forced to postpone a choice between either a partial or a full burn ban ordinance because the borough solicitor, who is preparing the possible new laws, was absent.
Officials said residents are divided on which ordinance would be better for the borough.
Also, because of continuing citizen complaints, consideration of a dog ordinance will also be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Two residents complained about stormwater runoff problems at two separate borough properties. Issues at the properties include flooded basements and yards.
In both cases, the residents stated that actions of a nearby property owner are causing the stormwater to drain onto their properties.
Paul Pasonick, borough engineer, said these kinds of problems are between property owners.
“They’re civil cases,” Pasonick said.
He said he will be looking into any drainage problems on the streets in question. But he said, “The borough will not be going onto private property to try to correct drainage problems.”
