The Middletown City Council on April 7, 2026, approved a package of routine resolutions and heard brief community announcements and committee scheduling updates.
Council members voted to authorize street closures for the YMCA’s annual Ruth B. Dino Marshall run scheduled for June 8, 2026, approve a $295 transfer within the civil service budget, and authorize a $57,890 transfer to replace the HVAC system at the North Street Firehouse. The council also declared a city vehicle surplus, accepted a $250 donation from the Middletown Lions Club for the annual fishing derby and accepted a donation from the Orange County Department of Health Intervention Services. An annual citywide yard sale and associated fees were approved, and the council authorized an intermunicipal agreement with the city of Port Jervis for use of firearms training range facilities.
The council approved the 2025 LOSAP (Length of Service Award Program) service award list for the fire department; the roll call showed one abstention on that item and the motion carried. Members also approved an amendment accepting additional funding from Orange County Transportation for services for the elderly and a transfer of $14,670.30 in Community Development Block Grant funds to cover Section 108 fees and payments. The body completed an audit item authorizing the city treasurer to issue warrants for payment.
Announcements and brief remarks preceded the votes. Alderman Green thanked presenters and announced a rescheduled constituents meeting for the 29th of April at 7 p.m. in the County Council Chambers. A council member noted the Community Communications and Historical Society Committee meeting has been moved to May 2. One council member praised the mayor and city staff, saying, "It's nice to be reminded how awesome Middletown is." The clerk also announced receipt and filing of the municipal shelter report for March 2026.
Most items were passed by roll call with no extended debate; where recorded, individual sponsors and seconders were noted in the meeting record. No ordinances or contested policy measures were debated at length during this session. The council concluded by moving to authorize warrants following the audit.
Next steps: the announcements included the constituent meeting on April 29 and the Community Communications and Historical Society Committee meeting on May 2; no additional public hearings or continuing deliberations were scheduled in the transcript.
