Summary

The township committee moved to withdraw an ordinance that would have amended Chapter 6 (Township Clerk, deputy clerk) to confirm deputy custodians of records and update Open Public Records Act fees, introduced Ordinance 26 to repeal a 2002 ordinance and confirm title to Lot 3801, and approved a consent calendar and bills by roll call.

The township committee discussed an ordinance to amend Chapter 6 of the township code — section 6-12, "Township Clerk, deputy township clerk" — that would have confirmed designation of departmental deputy custodians of records under the clerk and updated fees to align with the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 and following.) During the meeting a motion was made and seconded to withdraw that ordinance. The committee took a roll-call vote on the motion to withdraw; the motion carried, and the ordinance was withdrawn. Separately, the committee introduced Ordinance 26 of 2025. The ordinance repeals Ordinance 3 of 2002 and confirms title to a property identified as Block 3801, Lot [number transcribed as "Wound" / Lot Long Street Avenue], with a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 12, 2025, at 5 p.m. A motion to introduce Ordinance 26 passed on roll call. The committee also approved a consent calendar (designated in the meeting as items numbered through a consent range) and moved to pay bills; both motions passed on roll-call votes. The meeting record shows multiple roll-call acknowledgments of "Yes" from members present when these items were voted. No additional details on amendments, fee schedules, or the title-confirmation transaction were discussed on the public record during the portions of the meeting captured in the transcript.
