Tenafly council adopts new tree‑protection and downtown overlay ordinances; approves consent agenda
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 26‑11 (tree removal and protection) and Ordinance 26‑12 (Downtown Overlay District parking amendment) on second and final reading and approved the consent agenda (resolutions 26‑141 through 26‑162); one councilmember recorded a 'no' vote on the downtown overlay ordinance.
The council conducted public hearings and adopted two ordinances on second and final reading. Omar read confirmation of publication and the title for Ordinance 26‑11 (to repeal and replace chapter 26 on tree removal and protection), and a councilmember moved to adopt the ordinance; the roll call recorded affirmative votes.
The council then opened and closed the public hearing on Ordinance 26‑12, an amendment to parking provisions in the B1 Downtown Overlay District, and adopted that ordinance on second reading. The roll call recorded one 'no' vote (Councilmember Dayton). The meeting also passed a consent agenda covering resolutions R26‑141 through R26‑162. A councilmember noted the borough hired a public relations person and the council discussed coordinating communications through borough staff.
