Boonton council adopts permanent holiday parking fee waiver
Summary
The Boonton Mayor and Town Council adopted Ordinance 19-25 to permanently set a holiday parking fee waiver from Nov. 15 through Jan. 1; the waiver preserves existing posted time limits for short-term spaces, council members said.
Boonton Mayor and Town Council voted to adopt Ordinance 19-25, permanently establishing a holiday-season parking fee waiver from Nov. 15 through Jan. 1.
Council discussion clarified the change removes the fee during that period but does not alter posted time limits: short-term two-hour spaces remain enforced. No members of the public spoke during the ordinance’s public hearing; councilors said codifying the waiver prevents inconsistent application from year to year.
The motion to adopt carried on a roll-call vote. The ordinance amends chapter 2011 of the town code (parking) to memorialize the waiver in perpetuity. The council’s action is a final adoption; any operational enforcement (painted curbs, signage, or time-limit enforcement) remains unchanged unless separately directed by the council.
The council is expected to publish the ordinance text and effective date in the town’s official records and on the town website.
