[Adopted 7-7-1998 by Ord. No. 990]
The purpose of this article is to better enhance
the Jefferson County E9-1-1/Emergency Communications System and to
provide for a uniform county-wide addressing system with respect to
naming of streets and roadways; fabrication, erection and maintenance
of street name signs; address posting requirements; enforcement procedures;
and assigning street or house numbers to all residences and principal
buildings and businesses to assist fire, rescue, ambulance companies,
law enforcement agencies, the United States Postal Service, and the
public in the timely and efficient provision of services to residents
and businesses of Jefferson County.
The implementation of the uniform standards
for naming streets and an addressing system is in conjunction with
Jefferson County and the Jefferson County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications
System. This article is established in conjunction with Jefferson
County implementing and developing a Master Street Address Guide and
coordinating, designating and naming of addresses pursuant to the
street naming and address policy. Enforcement of this article shall
remain the responsibility of the Borough of Brookville; however, Jefferson
County shall coordinate and assist the Borough of Brookville in enforcement.
The Borough of Brookville shall establish street
names as chosen by the Borough of Brookville, or land developer or
landowner, and street or house numbers in accordance with the guidelines

Naming and Addressing Policy.[1] Establishment of any street names and addresses will be
coordinated with Jefferson County pursuant to the Jefferson County
Street Naming and Addressing Policy. The designation of street names
and addresses by the Borough of Brookville shall require the approval
of Jefferson County so as to coordinate such designations and to comply
with the Jefferson County Street Naming and Addressing Policy.
