At its April 15 meeting, the Darien City Council approved a set of routine and event-related measures, including a special-event permit that allows Broad Street to close for the monthly "2nd Saturday" event and adoption of Ordinance 2025-2 updating the Subdivision Regulation Ordinance.
The council first amended and approved the meeting agenda (motion by Councilmember Jeff Ragsdale, second by Councilmember Russ Quarterman) and then approved minutes from the March 17 work session and March 18 regular meeting (motion by Mayor Pro-tem Griffin Lotson, second by Councilmember Russ Quarterman); both approvals were unanimous in the transcript.
