  • Frequently Asked Questions

    What's the difference between an Ordinance and a Resolution?

    A resolution is any act or regulation of the Borough Council required to be reduced to writing, but which may be finally passed at the meeting at which it is introduced. An ordinance is act of local legislation heretofore or hereafter adopted, and including this Revision, so long as it shall have been adopted by the procedure required for the adoption of an ordinance and so long as it shall remain in force and effect pursuant to law and all amendments thereto.

    In other words, an ordinance is a local law. A resolution is passed to express the opinion of the Council on some matter of a temporary or advisory nature, or to handle administrative business of the Council.
