Allendale council approves modest increase to cat and dog license fees
Summary
At its Oct. 23 meeting the Allendale Mayor and Council held a second reading and approved an ordinance that modestly raises cat and dog license fees; the measure passed by roll‑call vote with all members present voting in favor.
The Borough of Allendale Mayor and Council on Oct. 23 held a second reading and voted to approve an ordinance to raise fees for cat and dog licenses. The clerk read the ordinance record and described it as Ordinance 25‑17, which the Mayor characterized during the meeting as "just a slight increase."
The ordinance was read into the record and then moved and seconded for approval. Council members recorded their votes in a roll call; Councilman Yakarino, Councilman Otul, Councilwoman Homeman, Councilwoman Lisolo, Councilman Delisio and Councilman Okonnell were recorded as voting "yes." The Mayor announced the motion carried.
Why it matters: license‑fee increases fund animal control and licensing administration; the Mayor said the change is minor and part of routine code updates to Chapter 93 (animals). The clerk stated the ordinance was first read by title on Oct. 9 and posted as required on the borough website and public bulletin board.
The council took the vote during a short meeting that also approved a routine consent agenda, received department reports and heard public comments on environmental volunteer efforts and water treatment. The ordinance will be reflected in borough fee schedules and posted according to the borough's standard procedures.
