Solid Waste Committee Report One customer was missed. Solicitor’s Report Solicitor Dissinger presented the draft for Ordinance #2026-03, data centers. Since this is a legitimate use, they must have provisions of where to put them and in what zoning district. He suggests the commercial or industrial district although just the industrial district may be too small. A provision must be made or risk overturning by a judge and any open area could be used. Many issues have been raised across the State concerning high levels of noise, electric and water consumption. Council reviewed the draft and suggest the quiet times be moved to 10pm- 8am and to leave in the commercial and industrial districts. This will need prior approval from TriCounty and advertised before adoption. Secretary Knellinger will include the adoption for the August meeting of Borough Council.
