Summary

Ordinance 2024-2, which would classify certain town offenses as municipal infractions and set enforcement procedures, penalties and appeals, completed its second reading at the Aug. 19 Whitehall Town Council meeting and was then tabled. The council voted to table the item; Roy McBride moved to table and Pat Peterson seconded; the minutes note the motion “passes.”
The ordinance would change how some local offenses are processed and penalized if adopted. Council members did not adopt the ordinance at this meeting and did not provide a recorded roll-call tally in the minutes; the transcript shows only the procedural motion and its passage.
The council is expected to revisit the measure at a future meeting; the next regular session is scheduled for Sept. 16, 2024.
