Morristown council introduces four ordinances, adopts two ordinances and five resolutions in unanimous votes

The Morristown Town Council introduced four ordinances for consideration at public hearings scheduled for April 28 and adopted two ordinances and five resolutions in unanimous votes.

Introductions: The council introduced Ordinances O‑07‑2026 and O‑08‑2026, both amending the town code (chapter 7, traffic section 7‑40.2) to add or amend on‑street handicap parking spaces assigned to specific private residences (one for 7 Henry Street, another for 189 Speedwell Avenue). The council also introduced O‑09‑2026 (amending chapter 13, housing and property maintenance) and O‑10‑2026 (amending chapter 12, building and construction). Each ordinance was moved, seconded and recorded as introduced and will be considered after a public hearing on April 28.

Adoptions: The council held public hearings (with no public comments) and adopted Ordinance O‑05‑2026, which establishes a dedicated handicap parking space for a resident at 55 Madison Street. The motion to adopt carried with recorded affirmative responses from council members present. The council similarly adopted Ordinance O‑06‑2026, amending town code section 2‑83.1 (fees of article 15, policies and procedures of chapter 2, administration). Both adoptions were recorded as unanimous.

Resolutions: Council moved to adopt Resolutions R‑85 through R‑89 2026 as a group; no member pulled any resolution for separate consideration and the group vote carried unanimously.

Votes and motions were handled as routine business; the meeting record shows no extended debate, amendments or recorded objections on these items. With no old or new business remaining, the council adjourned.
