If the ordinance passes on introduction, a second reading and public hearing will be held on Feb. 21 — before a final vote that night. If approved that night, signs announcing the ban and it attached fines could be in place in parks and playgrounds by late April.
On Jan. 17, Township Committee members gave Town Counsel Roger Desiderio their feedback on the draft ordinance. Mayor Vic DeLuca told Desiderio that he had changed his mind and now thought that including perimeter sidewalks in the ban would be "unreasonable."
