Summary

Council introduced ordinance 25‑25 (lease with Bethany Church) and passed resolution 25‑348 to publish the ordinance and schedule a public hearing on Dec. 2; both measures passed on roll calls with a majority of councilmembers voting yes.

At the Nov. 17 special meeting the Township Council took two formal steps related to a proposed lease with Bethany Church.

The transcript does not identify the individual mover or seconder by full name in the recorded audio.

Resolution 25‑348, authorizing publication of ordinance 25‑25 and scheduling the Dec. 2 public hearing, also passed on roll call (Councilman Sears: yes; Councilman Almond: yes; Councilman Morales: yes; Council president DeSeneye: no). The town clerk will publish the legal notice and the public hearing will include the town engineer, DPW representatives and town administration to answer technical questions raised at the Nov. 17 meeting.
