BRADY TWP — Discussion at a meeting Tuesday evening, June 20, around a campground ordinance will open the floor to negotiations with campground owners next month.

Jerry Kroczek, owner of Lake Arthur Family Campground, asked township supervisors to repeal Section 13 of Ordinance 118, which requires campgrounds to keep a register of campers that could be “open at all times to the inspection by the township engineer or code enforcement officer or law enforcement.“ The register would include names of campers, home addresses and phone numbers.

According to a statement Kroczek made earlier Tuesday afternoon, the original ordinance was made in 2019 and amended in 2021 by previous township supervisors.

Kroczek also said he opposed the need for an escrow account that would cost him $1,000 for the campground to be inspected by Richardson Inspection Services. The campground is already regularly inspected by the Department of Environmental Protection, Kroczek said before the meeting.
