The Sayreville Council meeting held on November 25, 2024, addressed several key agenda items, including significant funding news and routine financial matters.

The meeting commenced with an announcement from the mayor regarding a substantial grant awarded to the borough. Congressman Pallone's office notified the council that Sayreville received a $1,560,000 grant aimed at finalizing engineering plans for the Weber Avenue tract. This project is intended to transform the area into a passive recreation facility and enhance the borough's flood mitigation efforts. The mayor credited Councilperson Roberts, who chairs the Environmental Commission, for her leadership in securing this funding.

Following this announcement, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) presented a report focusing on year-end housekeeping tasks. The CFO proposed a budget transfer resolution and the cancellation of outstanding checks, which were met with no objections from the council.

The Borough Engineer then reported on the completion of the 2021 Phase 3 Road Improvement Project. A resolution was sought to officially close out this project, along with a change order that would result in a net reduction of approximately $30,000. This proposal also faced no objections.

The Borough Attorney had no report to present, and the meeting concluded with a public portion, allowing community members to voice their concerns or comments.

Overall, the meeting highlighted important financial developments for Sayreville, particularly the grant for the Weber Avenue project, while also addressing routine financial resolutions necessary for the borough's operations.
