Clerk read titles and summaries for ordinances including a repeal and replacement of parking regulations (ordinance 25-20), emergency parking rules (25-21), consolidated parks rules (25-22) and a set of bond ordinances funding specific capital projects for administration and finance, health services, human services, public safety, public works, parks, planning and engineering, the prosecutor's office, sheriff/jail, Bergen Community College, special services schools and vocational-technical schools (ordinances 25-23 through 25-35).
