Council approves liquor licenses, redevelopment designation, transit planning grant and consent items
Summary
The Rutherford Borough Council approved several resolutions by roll call, including two liquor‑license actions, a redevelopment designation for KIPP Avenue, and support for a NJTPA transit planning grant for Union Avenue.
The Rutherford Borough Council adopted a series of resolutions by roll call during the meeting.
Resolution 65 authorized procedures and conditions regarding the public sale of one new plenary retail consumption liquor license. The motion was made by Council President McGowan, seconded, and passed with a roll call vote in which Council President McGowan, Councilman Delraycone, Councilman Cottrell, Councilman Quattrone, Councilman Erico and Councilman Guzman voted yes.
Resolution 66 granted a new plenary retail consumption liquor license and approved the siting of that license to Penobianco Crafted by COS LLC. The motion by Council President McGowan was seconded by Councilman Quattrone and passed by roll call with the same affirmative votes recorded.
Resolution 67 designated certain property identified as the KIPP Avenue property as an area in need of redevelopment. The motion was moved by the council president and seconded by Councilman Guzman; the resolution passed by roll call vote.
Resolution 68 authorized the borough to support an application for a New Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) Transit Hub Planning Grant to fund a strategic plan study for Union Avenue, which the borough described as a corridor tied to the transit‑village area around the train station; the council approved the motion after the borough administrator explained the study would be used to pursue future grants for corridor improvements.
The consent agenda, moved and seconded by the council president and adopted by roll call, included routine items and an authorization to call the civil service certified reemployment list for a police officer; the council also removed Resolution 75 from the agenda under changes announced earlier in the meeting.
All recorded roll calls announced “yes” votes by the members present and the minutes reflect that each listed resolution passed as moved.
