Finance committee allocates $373,000 from 2019 bond for River Road sewer work
Summary
The committee approved using $373,000 in leftover 2019 bond stormwater funds for a change order on the River Road sanitary sewer project near Park Trails, voting unanimously to reassign the money to that project area.
The Newark City Council finance committee on May 5 approved the appropriation of $373,000 in leftover 2019 bond funds to cover a change order on sanitary sewer work near River Road, adjacent to the Park Trails development, voting 5-0.
Staff told the committee the money originates from a 2019 bond that had been set aside for stormwater work (the Fortieth Street waterline/storm project on the city’s West Side) and is available to fund stormwater-related needs in the same general area. Because contracted work for the River Road sanitary sewer project is occurring nearby, staff said using the leftover bond funds for a change order will allow the city to complete related work efficiently.
Committee members approved the request without recorded substantive amendments. The motion passed by voice vote with each member saying “aye,” and the meeting record shows a unanimous 5-0 result.
Staff did not present a detailed project schedule or a separate public hearing at the meeting; the appropriation was approved as a funding allocation to cover the change order and related contracted work.
