The rain did not keep anyone away from the Kidder board of supervisors meeting Thursday night. There was a packed house ready to address a proposed new ordinance pertaining to vacation rentals.

But before anyone got an opportunity to speak, Supervisor Frank Pieri made a motion to table the ordinance until the board had an opportunity to do some additional research.The motion was seconded by supervisor Thomas LaFond. Pieri, LaFond and Chairman Thomas Bradley voted to table the ordinance. Vice Chairman Larry Polansky and supervisor Ray Gluck voted no.With the ordinance tabled, solicitor Daniel Miscavage said there was no discussion to be had on the matter. Miscavage also noted that now that it was tabled, the ordinance might never be brought up again.A number of residents did express their concerns and a petition with 110 signatures was delivered to the supervisors."If this ordinance is reconsidered, there will be a public hearing before it is advertised," Bradley said. "This ordinance originated in the Planning Commission because it believed that it was needed.""I am pretty sure we have all of your concerns," Polansky said. "We have been hearing from just about all of you on this."Bradley also strongly disagreed with a resident who said the ordinance was being adopted to raise money.In other businessIn other business, township manager Lisa Klem said she was in the process of completing an LSA grant application for a $36,674 for a new police cruiser.
