No Mow May
Hearing on the charge of violating the municipal code on grounds maintenance lodged against Zack Brown was postponed until the September court docket.
The Code Enforcement officer was present in Municipal Court for hearings on summons issued to several residents who were cited for violating the code which covers exterior yard maintenance.
Most of the complaints, including the one against Brown, were issued on June 16, the day after the deadline for having lawns cut after the borough’s No Mow May policy. Most of those cited pleaded guilty and paid fines rather than plead not guilty and stay for court hearings.
Both Brown and his wife Morgan Spicer met with Municipal Prosecutor James Butler, but then pled not guilty to the summons complaint.
Municipal Court Judge Richard Leahy noted the summons was issued under a municipal code and the prosecutor had indicated Brown brought up an interesting issue.
The Judge indicated he wanted to read the ordinance further and perhaps converse with the borough attorney before hearing the matter before postponing the hearing.
