July 2 2012 Council Meeting

Council under direction of President Aigeldinger held a 2nd public discussion on the proposed zoning ordinance to comply with County demands and the motion passed 7-2.  UN Agenda 21 foisted on our community for the sake of a few dollars. This is the same motion that failed 6-3 at the last meeting and the County sent a letter which did not clearly indicate how Perkasie's zoning ordinance on minimum size requirements for garden apartments constituted discrimination but council was bullied into a majority which approved it.  In fact if you read the words of the Assistant General Counsel for HUD in 1995 he clearly states there are in fact minimum size requirements for dwellings that fall under HUD guidelines.  So here we have a bureaucracy that on one hand says there must be a minimum size for dwellings but then attempts to force communities to do away with them using the carrot of grant dollars.  Only Councilpersons Stottlar and Ryder did their research and understood that this was not a good move for Perkasie.

Part 2 of 3 - Discussion on putting security cameras at Menlo Pool.  Do you want cameras at your pool?  Or do you want better management?  Also discussion on making part of N 8th Street a one-way.  Several residents address council concerning drug crime in town and the Chief Gura responds.   Will council show leadership and direct the police to initiate another Town Watch program among residents?  Councilwoman Frei was a big part of this program back in the day and we are waiting for her to step up and show some leadership.
