CALLERY — Changes are coming to the borough, as council members seek to simplify the borough code and remove what they consider to be unnecessary ordinances.

The council will introduce an ordinance to simplify the code at its next meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 6, at the borough office.

The proposed ordinance would repeal chapters 9, 35 and 44 of the borough code.

Chapter 9 concerns appointments of standing committees; Chapter 35 establishes a curfew for children under the age of 16; and chapter 44 prohibits the manufacture and sale of explosives within the borough.

Before the vote council will hold a hearing where members can hear from the public regarding the proposed changes.

Council President Edward Conway said the chapters proposed for repeal are for the most part unnecessary and that removing them would help to make the borough code more manageable.

Based on previous discussions between members, Conway said he expects the repeal ordinance to pass at the next meeting.
