Passaic City Council ratifies ordinance on disabled-parking and approves routine measures; recusal noted
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Passaic City Council ratified a second-and-final-reading ordinance concerning restricted parking for disabled persons and approved multiple routine agenda items and resolutions; one councilmember recused himself from a separate item and council discussed appointments to the zoning board.
The Passaic City Council voted on a second-and-final-reading ordinance and a package of routine items during its May 20, 2025 meeting.
On second and final reading the council ratified "ordinance number 2,480 three-twenty 5," described in the agenda as an amendment regarding designation of restricted parking for disabled persons by license-plate number. The council held a public hearing and then voted by roll call; the ordinance passed with affirmative votes recorded for Councilman Monk, Councilwoman Mello, Councilman Schwartz, Councilman Garcia, Councilwoman Colon Montanez and Council President Schier.
Council members also approved grouped consent items (agenda items noted as routine): a separate vote was requested for agenda item 2; items 3 through 6 were approved by roll call. During the separate roll call on item 2, Councilman Munk stated he was recusing himself; remaining councilmembers voted to approve item 2.
The council approved items 7 through 16 in a single motion by roll call. Item 17 was taken separately; a roll call recorded an objection by Councilwoman Colombo Deneas during discussion, but the body completed the roll call vote on that item. The council approved a group of resolutions (agenda items 19 through 24A), including a new resolution titled "resolution amending resolution number 25 dash o 4 dash 1 0 4, resolution appointing commissioners and alternate commissioners to zoning board of adjustment" (listed in the agenda as 24A); the body voted to accept items 19 through 24A by roll call.
Payment of bills, listed under the agenda's routine business, passed by roll call. The meeting record shows that multiple items were accepted by unanimous or majority roll-call votes as reflected above.
