  • May 3, 2021-BOS Regular Meeting Page 1 PENN FOREST TOWNSHIP

    May 3, 2021

    ·Jim Thorpe, PA
    Minutes

    The Penn Forest Township Board of Supervisors held a regular monthly meeting on May 3, 2021, with four supervisors present (one attending by phone) and Township Solicitor Thomas S. Nanovic. During public comment, resident Larry Dusablon raised concerns about a noise ordinance, specifically objecting to provisions that allow disturbances until 2–3 a.m. and questioning the fairness of enforcement procedures that could expose residents to $1,000 fines if they cannot provide definitive proof of violations. Supervisor Bartulovich responded that complaints can be made at any time and that fines are only issued after a certain timeframe, but did not commit to changing the ordinance before a scheduled vote.
