The Toms River Township Council meeting on June 30, 2025, featured discussions on public works and local ordinances, particularly focusing on road maintenance and enforcement of recent regulations.

One of the primary topics was the enforcement of an ordinance passed last year regarding repairs on newly paved streets. Resident Anthony Verso raised concerns about how the township plans to uphold this ordinance, which mandates that utility companies must repave entire roads if they patch them. He questioned the council on the timeline for enforcement, specifically referencing a patch on Rico Avenue that had not been repaved six months after the initial work was done.

In response, township officials explained that any road openings require a permit, which outlines the rules for repairs. They assured residents that the engineering department monitors these permits and can issue citations if companies fail to comply with the repaving requirement. The council acknowledged the need to investigate the specific case mentioned by Verso.

The meeting also touched on staffing levels within the township, with discussions about the potential for increased workforce efficiency through adjusted work schedules. This included a proposal for employees to work four days at ten hours each, which could lead to a significant increase in productivity.

Overall, the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to improve local infrastructure and ensure compliance with municipal regulations, while also addressing community concerns about road conditions and maintenance. The council's commitment to monitoring and enforcing these ordinances reflects their focus on maintaining the quality of public services in Toms River.
