The State College Borough Council approved amendments for regulations governing testing and appointment of police officers, as well as other consent items, during its meeting Monday night.Â
These changes, such as raising the testing age and required test score, are meant to increase the overall number and diversity of qualified candidates who are eligible for testing and appointment as police officers.
Following this, the council voted to have a hearing on June 7 to discuss the short-term rental license ordinance.
The purpose of this ordinance is to ensure the borough is aware of the location of short-term rental activity in order to confirm the use complies with zoning regulations, taxes, and provides contract information in the event that nuisance property issues arise.
