Woodbridge council adopts salary-range ordinance, approves SID budgets and budget amendments; municipal budget hearing carried to Oct. 22
Summary
At a township meeting, council members adopted two ordinances including one setting employee salary ranges, approved Main Street and Oak Tree Road SID budgets by consent, approved a package of budget amendments (Resolution 3), and carried the municipal budget resolution to Oct. 22 at 5:30 p.m.
The Township of Woodbridge council met to consider ordinances and budget items and approved several measures, including a new salary-range ordinance and amendments to the municipality's fiscal 2025 budgets.
Speaker 2 opened the meeting and led procedural business, announcing that required public notices had been published in the Home News Tribune (Aug. 21) and the Star Ledger (Aug. 19). After roll call confirmed members present, the council took up two ordinances and multiple budget items.
On "letter a," described in the meeting as an ordinance for state fiscal year 2025, the council opened the public hearing, reported no public comment, and moved to close the hearing and adopt the ordinance; a voice vote carried the motion. The council then considered "letter b," an ordinance adopting salary ranges for employees of the Township of Woodbridge. Speaker 2 opened the public hearing on the salary ordinance, announced there were no public comments, and the council voted to close the hearing and adopt the ordinance. Both ordinances were submitted to the mayor for approval as required by law.
The council opened one of three public hearings on the proposed fiscal year 2025 municipal budget. With no comments during that hearing, the council voted to close the public comment portion and carry the budget resolution to Oct. 22 at 5:30 p.m., scheduling further consideration then.
Council members also took up Special Improvement District budgets for Main Street and Oak Tree Road. Both SID budgets were approved by consent as resolutions 1 and 2 after the public hearings were opened and no public comment was offered.
Speaker 2 presented resolution number 3, a set of requested budget amendments, and read multiple line-item adjustments into the record (changes to anticipated surplus, general revenues, and appropriations within and excluded from caps). After a motion and second, the council approved resolution 3 by voice vote. The transcript records specific figures read aloud by the speaker for those amendments.
The meeting reopened the public portion briefly for any other comments, received none recorded in the transcript, then closed the public portion and adjourned.
Votes and motions at the meeting were conducted by voice; roll-call tallies by name were not recorded in the transcript excerpts provided. The ordinances and resolutions approved were submitted or will be submitted to the mayor or implemented consistent with applicable law and administrative procedures.
