The Woodbridge Township Council convened on March 5, 2024, to address several agenda items, culminating in a public comment session. The meeting began with a motion to close the public hearing on a previously discussed matter, which was unanimously approved by the council members present.
Following this, the council moved to consider letters d, e, and f, which were passed on first reading. The council scheduled a public hearing for these items to take place on March 19, 2024, at 6 PM, with a motion to publish the notice in the Home News Review on March 8, 2024. This motion also received unanimous support.
The council president then presented a total of 36 resolutions for approval. A motion to approve all resolutions by consent was made and seconded, with no objections raised, leading to their swift approval.
The meeting transitioned into the public comments portion, where attendees were reminded to state their names and township sections when speaking. Each speaker was allotted a five-minute period to express their views, with guidelines in place to ensure respectful discourse and proper conduct during the session.
Tom Maris, a resident from Fourth New Jersey, was the first to approach the microphone, indicating he had four questions to address within his allotted time. The meeting continued with public engagement, allowing residents to voice their concerns and inquiries to the council.
Overall, the meeting proceeded efficiently, with key decisions made regarding upcoming public hearings and resolutions, while also fostering community involvement through public comments.
