On November 22, 2011 the Borough Council adopted ordinance 11-2445 which amended Chapter 273 of the Borough Code entitles "Streets and Sidewalks". The amendment includes a new section regulating the placement of stationary or portable basketball hoops:
"No property owner shall maintain a stationary or portable basketball hoop between the curb and the sidewalk or against the curb on the street or grass side overnight, or when the road is snow covered, or on refuge collection days or leaf collection days. If and in the event a property owner is found to be in violation of this requirement for a first offense, the property owner shall be notified by Posted Notice to remove the stationary or portable basketball hoop within five (5) days. Any subsequent offense shall require immediate removal. If said stationary, or portable basketball hoop, has not been removed, the Borough shall authorize its removal under the appropriate enforcement proceedings of this Chapter."
Penalties for violation of the amended ordinance shall subject the property owner to a fine of up to $500.00.
