High Bridge council adopts ordinance to preserve bank drive-through
Summary
The High Bridge Borough Council on Sept. 28 adopted Ordinance 2023-026 to protect existing drive-through facilities, citing preservation of the bank's drivethrough as a primary intent. The ordinance passed unanimously on a recorded roll-call vote.
Mayor Michele Lee called the Borough of High Bridge council meeting to order Sept. 28, and the council moved promptly into a public hearing and vote on Ordinance 2023-026, the drive-through facilities ordinance.
Councilwoman Ferry and Councilman Nowell told the council that the ordinance was intended to preserve the bank’s existing drive-through in the borough. After a brief public hearing, the council closed comment and adopted the ordinance on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The adoption was recorded with six yes votes. The council did not discuss amendments to the ordinance on the floor before the vote.
The ordinance will be published as required; no further details about implementation timelines or enforcement mechanisms were specified at the meeting. The council’s agenda notes indicate the ordinance is intended to preserve existing drive-through facilities, not to create new ones.
The council adjourned later in the evening and listed the next meeting for Oct. 12, 2023, when the public hearing calendar will continue.
