Summary
Highlands council adopted Ordinance O26-05 (removing a restricted parking space) on second and final reading, introduced O26-07 (removing another restricted parking space) on first reading with an April 1 public hearing, adopted three consent resolutions (shared services, records management, payment of bills), and moved into an executive session for personnel.
The Borough of Highlands mayor and council approved several routine items and advanced multiple ordinances during a regular meeting in March 2026.
On final reading the council adopted Ordinance O26-05 to remove a restricted parking space previously assigned to a resident with a disability; the mayor opened a public hearing, no members of the public spoke, and the council announced the ordinance passed. The council also introduced Ordinance O26-07, described as similar to O26-05 and intended to remove a restricted parking space for a resident who has moved out of the borough; O26-07 passed on first reading and a public hearing was set for April 1.
The council adopted a consent agenda including R26-087 (authorizing a shared services agreement with the township of Holmdale for technical assistance to the construction official), R26-088 (authorizing an agreement with ACCSES New Jersey for records management services), and R26-089 (authorizing payment of bills). Motions to adopt were moved and seconded and the presiding officer announced adoption of R26-087 through R26-089.
Following regular business, the council moved to enter executive session for personnel matters, citing the New Jersey statutory provision referenced in the meeting record. The presiding officer said no formal action would be taken during the closed session and that matters could be disclosed later when privacy is no longer required. The executive session ended at 7:09 p.m., and the meeting adjourned at 7:21 p.m.
Individual roll-call tallies for some votes were not fully specified in the transcript; where the record simply states "motion carries" or records partial 'yes' responses, this summary reports the recorded outcomes and notes that specific individual votes were not provided in full.
