Mayor Robert Klaus and police Chief Joseph Eisenhardt presented Uron with a plaque for his actions on March 23 in Rhode Island when he performed the Heimlich Maneuver on a choking restaurant patron.
The council members then unanimously approved an agreement to enter a shared services agreement with Runnemede regarding the services of a deputy registrar, save an abstention from Councilman Shawn Ludwig.
The body also unanimously voted to pass a resolution stating “the Barrington borough council supports marriage equality for same-sex couples.” The resolution was finalized when Council President Kirk Popiolek signed it after Klaus chose not to.
In other matters, the council also:
- Awarded contracts for street improvements
- Changed the date of the August council meeting to Aug. 14
- Deleted 2012 and 2013 tax exemptions
- Accepted ownership of pedestrian safety flashing beacons at Highland Avenue and Mercer Drive
- Certified a property maintenance lien
- Approved the July bill list for $1.1 million
