Two bills will be up for discussion at the York City Council meeting Tuesday evening.
The first one, if passed, would give city officials the power to more strongly enforce a state law which currently requires carbon monoxide detectors to be installed in all occupied houses.
Pennsylvania passed the law back in 2013 but never specified who was responsible for making sure people followed it.
Under the proposal, CO detectors would be mandated much like smoke detectors are.
Landlords would be required to install them in every renter’s home.
The requirement would then be enforced during city property inspections.
Those who do not abide by the law could face a fine.
If city council members and York Mayor Kim Bracey approve the bill, it could go into effect 20 days later.
Also on the agenda is a proposal that could change the future of dining in downtown York.
City council members are expected to vote on a bill that would allow more food trucks to operate in York.
Under the proposal, people could apply for a permit to run a food truck between 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Monday through Sunday on city grounds.
Those who support it point to the success of the city’s Foodstruck events which have drawn thousands of people to the city.
They say having mobile food trucks year round would be a good boost to the local economy.
Not everyone is sold on the idea though.
Those against it say they’re worried food trucks could hurt the city’s restaurants by stealing customers.
Under the ordinance, a license to have a food truck would cost $300 a year.
Right now, the current ordinance only allows for one food cart to operate on Continental Square.
The York City Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday evening at 6:30.
