Stratford Town Council waives first readings and refers two ordinances for public hearings
Summary
At a special meeting March 19, 2025, the Stratford Town Council dispensed with first readings and referred two unnamed ordinances to the ordinance committee for public hearings after unanimous voice votes.
Chair Carl Glad called the special meeting of the Stratford Town Council to order on March 19, 2025, and the council moved to refer two ordinances to the ordinance committee for public hearings after waiving their first readings.
Council member Mullen moved on item 1.1 “that the first reading of the above entitled ordinance be dispensed with as copies thereof have been provided previously to each member of the town council and that the same be adopted as a first reading and referred to ordinance for a public hearing.” Council member O'Neil seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote; Chair Glad recorded “Aye” and said the ordinance would be referred to the ordinance committee.
On item 1.2, Council member Waller moved an identical resolution to dispense with the first reading and refer the ordinance for public hearing, saying the motion was "in regards to the no reads." Council member O'Neil seconded. That motion also passed on a voice vote and was referred to the ordinance committee.
Neither ordinance was named or numbered during the meeting, and no roll-call vote totals were recorded on the transcript. Chair Glad closed the session after a motion to adjourn was moved by Council member O'Connor and seconded by Council member Whittum; the adjournment passed by voice vote.
Next steps: both ordinances were referred to the ordinance committee for public hearings; dates or further scheduling details were not specified during the special meeting.
