Highland Park council adopts consent agenda, approves budget amendments and confirms volunteers
Summary
At its March 3 meeting, the Highland Park Borough Council approved a consent agenda (items 11a–11p), introduced a parking-ordinance amendment for first reading, adopted resolutions for budget transfers and a temporary budget amendment, and confirmed two volunteer appointments.
The Highland Park Borough Council moved through a packed agenda on March 3, adopting a consent agenda, introducing an ordinance for first reading and approving budget-related resolutions.
Council members voted by roll call to adopt the consent agenda (items 11a–11p), which included routine renewals and administrative approvals. Council member Hirsch said he would vote yes but noted the public’s concerns about litter and parking associated with one license renewal and asked for follow-up.
The council introduced ordinance number 2-6-2126, an amendment to chapter 278-17 on street-accessible parking spaces for people with disabilities, by title and set a public hearing for March 24. The ordinance was ordered published as required by law.
Separately, council adopted resolution 3-26-88 approving budget transfers and resolution 3-26-89 authorizing an amendment to the 2026 temporary budget to maintain operations until the regular budget is adopted.
Council also confirmed two volunteer appointments: Catherine Hall to the walking and cycling committee and a Janet (last name not specified in the record) to the Community Emergency Response Team. Members praised the volunteers’ contributions.
Procedural notes: the borough attorney reminded the public that the meeting provides two public-participation windows — an agenda-item portion and a later general-comment period — and that the council may choose whether to respond to comments. The meeting adjourned following the scheduled business.
Votes at a glance: the minutes-approval motion, consent agenda adoption, ordinance introduction and the listed resolutions were carried by recorded roll call with affirmative votes from attending council members.
