Moorestown Council to Consider Expansion of Drug-Free School Zones Monday Night

Moorestown Council will consider expanding the drug-free school zone in the township Monday night.

Council will consider an ordinance on introduction to repeal and replace the portion of the township charter that deals with drug-free school zones and adopt a new map when it meets Monday night, 7 p.m. at town hall.

The proposed ordinance calls for the inclusion of public housing facilities, public parks and public buildings to the ordinance that already covers school properties.

Council will also give final consideration to an ordinance that would set aside $100,000 and borrow $95,000 for preliminary engineering and design expenses related to the relocation of some dasher boards from the Wesley Bishop Park hockey rink to the rink at Jeffrey Young Memorial Park.

If approved, that project would likely begin after the winter ends, Township Manager Scott Carew said after the ordinance was approved on introduction on Aug. 31.

There are also eight items on the consent agenda.
