New Milford council confirms fire company appointees, adopts resolutions and hears engineering updates
Summary
Council appointed two fire-company members and one junior auxiliary member, adopted resolutions 2025 col244–249, and heard an administrator report on Main Street concrete work, ADA renovations and a favorable regulatory ruling allowing phased work on a historic restoration project.
The Borough of New Milford mayor and council confirmed appointments to local fire services, adopted a series of resolutions, and received updates from the administrator on engineering and building projects.
Appointments: Council moved and seconded a motion to appoint John Stormer and Randy Stormer to Fire Company/Department 1 and to appoint Peter Kuclas to the Junior Firefighter Auxiliary; the motion passed by voice vote and the council offered congratulations to the appointees.
Resolutions: Council moved to adopt resolutions numbered 2025 col244 through 2025 col249; the council voted in favor and the slate was adopted. No individual resolution language or separate roll-call tallies for each resolution were recorded in the public discussion.
Administrator's report: Administrator (referred to as Chris in the record) reported that Main Street concrete work is underway and that ADA renovations to two Borough Hall first-floor restrooms are in progress. The administrator said that a regulatory body (not fully named in the meeting record) ruled in favor of the borough on a matter allowing work already approved for the French restoration to begin concurrently with submission of a minor technical modification application; a resolution on the agenda authorizes engineering for additional design and construction management related to that work. Chris also reported an "incredible response" to the borough's recent food drive and said staff will meet with the local food pantry to improve outreach and marketing for future efforts.
Why it matters: the appointments maintain fire-department staffing and the adopted resolutions move municipal business forward; the administrator's updates indicate active infrastructure work and progress on an approved historic-restoration project.
The council entered closed session after these actions and announced it would adjourn immediately after returning without taking further action.
