Council waives reading of prior minutes and places traffic commission item on file; meeting adjourns
Summary
The council voted to dispense with the reading and approved minutes for Aug. 28 and Sept. 12, placed a traffic commission item on file about 25 mph limits under MGL chapter 90 §17C, and voted to adjourn; no additional ordinance votes took place.
The Gardner City Council opened the Oct. 17 meeting and approved a motion to waive the reading of prior meeting minutes for Aug. 28 and Sept. 12 and accept them as printed. The motion was made by Councilor Brooks and seconded by Councilor Hardin; the chair called for the vote and the motion "carries."
On a traffic item, the council considered a communication about adopting MGL chapter 90, section 17C, which establishes a 25 mph speed limit in thickly settled or business districts. The traffic commissioner reported this adoption had been made by the council in 2021 and that the remaining step is for the traffic commission to notify the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and provide any street lists. Councilor Brooks moved to place the item on file and the motion was seconded; the chair called the vote and the motion carried.
At the meeting's close, Councilor Hart moved to adjourn, seconded by Councilor Brooks. The council voted in favor and adjourned.
No ordinances, appropriations or other formal enactments were adopted during the Oct. 17 meeting beyond these procedural actions.
