NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE MILLERSBURG BOROUGH COUNCIL

At its December 13^th meeting, the Millersburg Borough Council approved Resolution 23-24, establishing guidelines for the Special Meeting scheduled to allow public comment on the drag show and associated petition. The meeting, originally scheduled to be held at the Millersburg Area School District, will now be held:

Wednesday, December 20^th, 2023 at 6pm in Council Chambers at 101 West Street, Millersburg, PA.

The venue change was necessary to prevent unwanted co-mingling of school students attending a sporting event and individuals attending the Special Meeting on the same night. Construction of the new school has limited entrances and exits. Borough Council and the School District feel that the event would be better suited for another night or another venue. Other available nights around the holidays were undesirable, so another venue was selected.

Resolution 23-24 is posted here in its entirety, detailing the rules for the event. Additionally, the Borough has posted the opinion of our Zoning Officer as it relates to the Zoning challenge put forth by residents. Please be sure to read these documents carefully.

Doors will open at 5pm. All parties in attendance will be subject to search. NO WEAPONS WILL BE PERMITTED IN THE BUILDING. Due to limited seating, attendees will be admitted and permitted to speak in the order and with the time limits outlined in Resolution 23-24. 5 seats for each side (10 total) will be reserved for the entirety of the event, limiting additional attendees in the building to the remaining 46 seats (max occupancy per the building code). Handicapped seating will be available. At the end of their allotted time, commenters will be asked to exit the building to allow additional attendees to enter and offer comment. The meeting will last 3 hours with public comment ending at 8:40pm. Any parties who wish to speak but may not make the cutoff time are encouraged to submit a letter to Borough Council with their comments. The meeting will be live streamed on Microsoft Teams so that anyone at home or waiting in line can listen in. The link to access the meeting is: http://tinyurl.com/millersburg

ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC REQUIRING ACCOMMODATION FOR A DISABILITY SHOULD REACH OUT TO THE BOROUGH OFFICE PRIOR TO THE MEETING DATE AT 717-692-2389.
