The Nov. 1 Macungie Borough Council meeting began with an executive session about a personnel issue. The meeting was also attended by the borough’s attorney.

The proposed rental inspection ordinance has a suggested change. The change would request the structure be vacant during the inspection. There were concerns about invasion of privacy. This matter will need legal assistance so no action occurred during this meeting.
