a. No Knock Ordinance – It is important to spread the word as a community about the No Knock List as it is extraordinarily effective. The public has shared their ideas and one of the things we are “in the works” of doing is having the No Knock List available online. Come to Town Hall in person or register online. We will have it in a future Township mailer and have discussed it with Administrator Schlegel and appreciate Administration making room for us in their mailer. A resident suggested an online registry making it easier to get on the list and Administration is looking into it. Hopefully, we will have some information soon. The website is managed by Administration and we have recommended that and I appreciate them taking a look into it. We are also looking into background checks as we want to make sure that someone approaching your door is making sure they prove to us that they are above approach. Attorney Cipriani stated she will look into and respond to Council. This is an area of First Amendment regulations and there is a lot of case law on this subject. Let’s spread the word and get as many people signed up as possible.
KELLY KANIS – 35 VILLANOVA DRIVE – Thank you for addressing the on-line No Knock list. Is there a time line and have you reached out to IT? Council President Nixon stated he didn’t have an answer as the IT Department falls under Administration. We will find out if it’s feasible and how quickly it can happen. Administrator Schlegel advised she will have a report available for Council at the next meeting. Our website is handled in-house and we are short a staff member. We just hired someone so hopefully we’ll have an answer by the next meeting. This is not the first time I’ve been approached by the Council President and the Mayor to try to get this done. Township Clerk Eden requested she be involved in this process as my office handles the No Knock registry. I just want to make sure it works out so there are not multiple list(s). Council President Nixon stated they need to make sure it is coordinated properly; we don’t want any gray areas.
