Summary
The council voted to schedule reconsideration of the second reading of an amendment to Town code (Title 11, Chapter 90, Sec. 90.03) concerning disposal of carcasses and waste; the ordinance reverts to its original state while reconsideration is pending and will be heard Jan. 20, 2026.
The Town of Middletown council moved to schedule reconsideration of the second reading of an amendment to the town code (Title 11, General Regulations, Chapter 90 Animals, Sec. 90.03, disposition of carcasses and waste) to Jan. 20, 2026. The motion to set the reconsideration date was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The presiding member explained the procedural effect of a successful motion to reconsider: the ordinance reverts to its original state while the council reopens consideration. The clerk contacted the Beach Commission to arrange for the matter to be on Jan. 20 so members of the public who wished to speak could appear at that meeting.
Council discussion during the item focused on scheduling logistics and confirming that public comment opportunities will be preserved at the January hearing. No further substantive changes to the ordinance were made at this meeting; the council will take up the amendment and any related testimony on Jan. 20, 2026.
