Council approves journal of Oct. 14, records abstentions; refers Treat Street complaints to investigators
Summary
Council approved the journal of Oct. 14, noting two abstentions, and the council recorded referrals of tenant complaints at 62 Treat Street to the Fair Rent investigator and the health department.
At the regular Oct. 14 meeting the West Haven City Council moved to approve the journal of Oct. 14, which was seconded and approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded two abstentions. The meeting record includes a formal referral request to the Fair Rent investigator and to the health department regarding conditions at 62 Treat Street; the clerk confirmed letters to both departments will be filed with the minutes.
What happened: A motion to approve the journal of Oct. 14 was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records "Abstention. 2. Right here," indicating two abstentions were noted. The clerk also announced Communication A (tax collector overpayment refunds for October 2025) filed with the meeting minutes. Councilman Mackey formally requested referral of 62 Treat Street complaints to Fair Rent and the health department and the clerk confirmed the referrals will be communicated to those departments.
Why it matters: The approved journal is the official record of council action; recorded abstentions are part of the meeting minutes. The referrals initiate administrative investigations into tenant complaints and health code matters.
