Fanwood council adopts ordinance updating fire-prevention inspection fees
Summary
Councilwoman Patricia Walsh called up ordinance 0-2023-15-S to amend borough code chapter 156 on fire prevention fees; the clerk read the title, no public testimony was offered, and council adopted the ordinance on second reading.
The Fanwood Borough Council adopted an ordinance on Nov. 20 that amends chapter 156 of the borough code to update fire prevention fees.
Councilwoman Patricia Walsh called the ordinance up for second reading and requested the clerk read the affidavit and title into the record. After a brief public hearing with no speakers, Walsh moved that the ordinance be adopted on second reading and final passage; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call vote.
Why it matters: the ordinance revises local inspection/fee schedules for fire prevention, which affects property owners who require inspections or services covered by chapter 156. Officials gave residents an opportunity to comment and reported no public testimony at the hearing.
Quote: "I move this ordinance be adopted on second reading and final passage and if adopted, be published by law," Councilwoman Patricia Walsh said during the meeting.
Next steps: The clerk will publish the ordinance as required by law and the updated fee schedule will take effect as specified in the adopted ordinance text.
