Newark City Council

The potential village could be modeled after a pallet village in Georgetown run by Springboard Delaware.

Various departments asked for a total of 10 more full-time staff positions.

The department's director also sought two additional full-time staff positions.

The decision keeps post-reassessment values in place, which put more of the tax burden on residential property owners.

The Parking Advisory Committee can promote new practices and help monitor the effectiveness of parking policies moving forward.

Newark's city manager advised city officials to start the tax at $50 per student.

City officials also plan to put a camera on Main Street, a business district, though that is not covered by the ordinance approved Monday.

Council members considered implementing regulatory changes incentivizing developers to provide units below market rates and eliminating or reducing minimum parking requirements.

That includes the ability to prosecute individuals for public use, possession or consumption of marijuana.

The General Assembly clears a bill that would allow Newark to levy a $50 per-student, per-semester tax on the University of Delaware.
