Midwestern Township committee approves first reading of ordinance updating fees for licenses and certificates

At its Sept. 4 meeting, the Midwestern Township Committee approved on first reading Ordinance 2025-18, which the clerk described as an amendment to the Township Code, Chapter 155 — fees for licenses and certificates. A public hearing and final consideration were set for Oct. 2, 2025.

The ordinance was presented on first reading with a motion and second recorded at the meeting; the committee then took a roll-call vote. The transcript records that the motion to approve the ordinance on first reading passed with all members voting yes. The clerk announced the ordinance number and gave the statutory chapter and article references as read into the record.

The meeting transcript does not include the ordinance text, fee schedule, or specifics about which licenses or certificate categories would change. Committee members did not debate the substance of fee changes during the first-reading action recorded on Sept. 4.

Procedurally, the committee followed its published schedule: first reading on Sept. 4 and a public hearing scheduled for Oct. 2; the ordinance will return to the committee for a final vote after the public hearing. The committee did not take any amendment or substantive policy action on the fee schedule at the Sept. 4 first-reading vote.
