Council approves series of routine resolutions, adopts Vision Zero; affordable‑housing measure advanced
Summary
At its Feb. 12 meeting the Asbury Park City Council approved a package of routine administrative resolutions, adopted a Vision Zero policy, approved an affordable‑housing development resolution, and tabled several waterfront‑area ordinances to Feb. 26. One professional‑services authorization passed 3‑1 with mayoral dissent.
The Asbury Park City Council on Feb. 12 approved a slate of routine municipal resolutions, adopted a Vision Zero policy and advanced an affordable‑housing funding resolution, while tabling several waterfront redevelopment ordinances to the council's Feb. 26 meeting.
Among the measures the council approved were routine administrative items: Resolution 2025‑97 (payment of bills), Resolution 2025‑96 (special event applications), Resolution 2025‑98 (transfer of appropriation reserves), Resolution 2025‑99 (temporary budget amendments), and multiple procurement and services renewals (e.g., Adobe renewal, boiler service agreement, recycling services). These passed on recorded voice and roll‑call votes as shown in the minutes.
The council unanimously adopted Resolution 2025‑108, "establishing and adopting a Vision Zero policy and goal for the city of Asbury Park," a policy framework intended to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries and to guide street redesign and traffic‑safety projects. Plead Streets Coalition and members of the public praised the measure during the public comment period.
The council also adopted Resolution 2025‑106, "determining that development of affordable housing for the project known as the Memorial Family Community and Education Center will address an existing need," a step in pursuing HOME program subsidies; staff explained the HOME program carries HUD affordability controls and that two units would be subject to the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls producing 30‑year affordability durability.
A professional‑services authorization for state‑police accreditation maintenance (Resolution 2025‑105) passed on a recorded roll call with three council members voting yes and Mayor Moore voting no. The minutes record the mayor's dissent; the motion otherwise carried.
Several waterfront ordinances and related financial agreement items were tabled to the Feb. 26 meeting, including proposed special assessments and a proposed financial agreement related to Block 4306 (Eighth/Seventh/Webb area). Multiple council members moved to table those ordinances until the February 26 meeting.
All routine minutes and procurement resolutions passed by roll call as entered into the record. Where roll calls were recorded in the minutes, the clerk's record shows the votes detailed in the council transcript.
The council adjourned after completing introductions, tablings and roll‑call votes; most items will return to the council agenda on Feb. 26 for further action.
