Milltown council accepts tax collector's resignation, approves $2.59 million in bills and adopts consent agenda

The Milltown Borough Council on June 22 accepted the resignation of Kelly McCormack as borough Tax Collector and approved a major payment resolution and a multi-item consent agenda.

Clerk read Resolution 2026-185 accepting the resignation of Kelly McCormack, identified in the resolution by name. Council members noted McCormack's more-than-10-year tenure and said the borough has a "plan A" and "plan B" to ensure the collector role remains certified and staffed; council voted to accept the resignation on a roll call motion.

The council also approved Resolution 2026-180 authorizing payment of bills, claims and statements against Milltown Borough totaling $2,588,590.64. After reading the resolution, a motion and second were recorded; the roll-call vote carried with one abstention recorded.

Council adopted a broad consent agenda covering resolutions 2026-182 to 184 and 186 to 203, which the clerk read into the record consistent with council rules. One member earlier asked that Resolution 2026-204 (waiver of temporary retail food license fees for a Fourth of July vendor) be pulled for separate consideration; that waiver was later discussed and adopted with recorded abstentions.

Council members said they will ensure continuity in the tax-collector function and that the borough is required by law to have a certified tax collector; staff indicated temporary coverage plans are in place while the borough fills the vacancy.

The meeting concluded with community announcements about July 4 events and a motion to adjourn.
