(3) Doctor's certificate of handicap or unexpired handicap parking
placard.
B. If

hazard and the request does not conflict with any other Borough ordinance
or state law restriction. After review by the Police Department, the
Borough Council may approve the request by motion and majority vote
of the Borough Council. The approval shall be valid for 12 months.
C. All
approved requests automatically expire 12 months from date of approval.
Individuals may submit requests to renew a handicap-only parking space

is desired;

if the request can be granted without causing a safety hazard and
the request does not conflict with any other Borough ordinance or
state law restriction. After review by the Police Department, the

of the Borough Council. The approval shall be valid for as long as
the organization or business operates the location or until the organization
or business requests in writing that the designation be discontinued.
