Chicopee Ordinance Committee approves Code Enforcement Officer ordinance after decade of effort. Committee Chair William Courchesne achieved his long-sought goal, with the ordinance detailing duties for violation identification, daily department updates, and discretionary enforcement for elderly residents. The committee voted unanimously to approve amendments banning non-human-powered transportation from city sidewalks with a one-hundred-dollar fine and exceptions for Americans with Disabilities Act-protected devices.
Parking restrictions were enacted at Hilton, Kennedy, and Abbey streets; Group 4 salary increases took effect July 1, 2026; and a revised snow-clearing ordinance was postponed pending budget clarification.
