Knox Box discussion to continue at Wednesday's Legislative meeting, Knox rep via phone, citizen comments limited
The draft agenda for Wednesday night's legislative committee meeting is shown below. The borough's Knox Box ordinance is scheduled to be discussed. The ordinance requires all places of business to have key lock boxes, commonly known as Knox Boxes, installed and accessible to emergency personnel. The ordinance was passed in December 2017 and gives business owners a year to comply. At July's borough council meeting, several citizens voiced their opposition to the ordinance.
A phone conference with a Knox Box representative is scheduled for Wednesday's discussion. In a break from precedent, the committee will limit citizen comments (see below). Historically, committee meetings have been informal work sessions in which citizen input has been welcomed without strict limitations.

So, in essence, only the majority should express their thoughts....Seems legit to me!

This Penn Live article, perhaps, says that agendas can be confusing (When it comes to government meetings, not all agendas are equal): https://www.pennlive.com/news/2016/03/when_it_comes_to_government_me.html
Heck, there's a local company ( https://vizpin.com ) that offers cloud-based technology that "Grants and revokes access to anyone, anytime, from anywhere without having to worry about cards, FOBs or PIN numbers – your phone does it all, even when networks are unavailable."
Brings another question to the surface, though. What about any business that already uses digital (keyless) locks? What would the glib sales representative have to say about that?
"FAKE NEWS."
Technology advances, and will continue to advance, so swiftly; forcing folks into obsolescent fixes is worrisome.
