At the meeting Deputy Director Space opened the public hearing and asked, "Anyone appear present to be heard regarding this ordinance?" No members of the public spoke, and the board closed the hearing before taking a final vote.
The ordinance applies state motor-vehicle and traffic provisions (Title 39) to county-owned roadways, driveways and parking facilities at the identified property, and adopts the parking and signage layout included in the plan. The plan was advertised in the New Jersey Herald on May 20, 2025, and the public hearing was scheduled for 6 p.m. at this meeting, as required by the public notice.
The board voted by roll call to adopt the ordinance. Deputy Director Space, Director Carney, Commissioner DeGroot, Commissioner Hayden and Commissioner Henderson recorded affirmative votes. The clerk was authorized to publish the resolution as finally adopted and post it in the county administrative center lobby.
The ordinance and approved plan will govern parking control and signage at the county-owned parcel at 15 Trinity Street; the county clerk was directed to advertise the final adoption per the board’s motion.
Copies of the ordinance and the adopted parking and signage plan will be posted per the authorization given to the clerk and made available through county channels for public review.
