There were two ordinances (73-15 and 73-16) that were listed on the OPRA request filed four years ago by former mayor Bob Gorman. Someone inquired what those ordinances pertain to. See article: Mayor Gorman v. Gloucester City
Ordinance 73-15 pertains to the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks. I was told that after a heavy snow storm a number of people where given tickets for not clearing the snow and ice from their sidewalks. The tickets were issued in areas were crossing guards worked as the kids were having difficulty walking to and from school. Gorman, who resided near the intersection of Monmouth and Sussex Street, was one of the home owners to receive a ticket. He now lives in Moorestown.
Ordinance 73-16 \” It shall be the duty of the Gloucester City Police Department and they are required to make a complaint against any person or persons who shall
violate 73-15 of this ordinance\”.

Regarding the question whether Spaventa was allowed to chair the June emergency Board meeting. The School Board solicitor said he is. However, the Board Secretary should run it and if not the board should elect an acting president aka president pro tem. See Article: Tips and Snippets for July 15th
