Highlands Borough Council is holding public hearings on three proposed ordinances and authorizing cost of living increase for some employees at tomorrows meeting (WEDNESDAY JULY 16) at Borough Hall.
The public hearings are to make changes in ordinances already in effect, with one making it more clear what is meant by litter when enforcing the borough codes on littering. A second describes in detail what wildlife are meant under the current wildlife feeding ordinance, identifying feral cats as part of the group that cannot be fed under municipal laws.
The third ordinance up for final approval restores for public use a reserved parking place for a handicapped person which is no longer needed.
The governing body also plans to introduce two new ordinances, one establishing higher qualifications and specifications for qualifications of inspectors and other employees, requiring state approval for inspectors , another establishing no parking zones on both sides of Waterwitch Avenue from Bay Ave to Shore Drive. Public hearings on these proposed codes will be held at the August 20 meeting of council.
Council is also expected to pass a resolution opposing the construction of the Williams Transco Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, for numerous reasons concerning its potential adverse effect on the borough, impacts which range from the ocean disposal of contaminated material which would harm the marine environment and the impact the pipeline would have on upstream environmental impacts that would directly harm Raritan Bay, to the overall negative impact the pipeline would have on the health of the Bayshore, coastal ecosystems, marine life, and all coastal communities.
Council will also go into executive session at the end of the meeting for litigation matters and the noise ordinance.
