Palmyra council approves consent calendar and authorizes road closures for April baseball parade

Palmyra Borough Council approved its consent calendar and authorized road closures for the Palmyra Civic Baseball Association’s opening day parade on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 9 a.m., by voice votes.

The consent calendar action, approved without a recorded roll‑call, covered approval of the minutes of the Feb. 11, 2025 borough council meeting, payment of bills listed on the January 24 detailed check listing report, and the treasurer’s report for Jan. 1–Jan. 31, 2025. A council member asked several questions about individual check items during discussion before the motion to accept was made and seconded; the council then approved the consent items by voice vote.

Council also considered a request from the Palmyra Civic Baseball Association to close roads needed for its opening‑day parade on April 5. The council approved the closure and the route as presented. The approved parade route begins at Forge Road Elementary School, proceeds south on South Prince Street, east on East Cypress Street, south on South Duke Street, east on East Elm Street, south on Sandalwood Drive, north on Colonial Road, west on Sycamore Lane, west on East Elm Street, north on South Dew Street and finishes at the Forge Elementary School baseball fields.

Both actions were recorded in the meeting transcript as passing on voice votes; the transcript shows the motions were seconded and the chair called for “ayes,” after which the motions were recorded as carried. The transcript does not include a roll‑call tally or identify who moved and seconded each motion by name.
