At-a-glance: council votes — vehicle replacement, resolutions and minutes
Summary
At the May 14 New Milford work session the council approved replacement of a damaged NMPD patrol vehicle, approved several resolutions and approved minutes of the April 27 meeting; Resolution 2026 col 137 addressing builder's-remedy litigation was pulled for discussion and adopted unanimously by roll call.
A summary of formal actions taken by the New Milford mayor and council at the May 14 work session:
- Police vehicle replacement: Council authorized immediate replacement of a newer primary NMPD patrol vehicle damaged in a collision. Officials said insurance will cover the remaining lease and provide a down payment toward a replacement lease; the council approved the replacement by voice vote.
- Resolutions adopted: The council adopted several agenda resolutions, including 2026 col 128 and 2026 col 136 (voice votes recorded in the meeting transcript; individual roll-call details for those motions were not enumerated in the public record excerpt). Councilman Seymour pulled Resolution 2026 col 137 for discussion; council members praised recent legislative efforts to limit the "builder's remedy" in exclusionary-zoning litigation and then adopted 2026 col 137 by roll call (all present members recorded 'yes').
- Minutes and housekeeping: Council approved minutes from the April 27, 2026 public and closed-session meetings and scheduled upcoming meetings and community events.
Notes on procedure: the meeting was a work session; council announced it would move into closed session and stated no action would be taken after closed session. If residents need the formal roll-call record for any adopted resolution not fully enumerated here (e.g., resolutions 128 and 136), the borough clerk's official minutes should be consulted.
