Summary
The Vineland City Council on a unanimous five‑member vote adopted three ordinances on final reading — amending the city's property maintenance code, adjusting board classification/compensation rules, and extending a cell‑tower lease — and approved first readings and public‑hearing dates for four additional ordinances, including a $4 million appropriation related to a landfill plan.
The Vineland City Council adopted three ordinances on final reading Tuesday, each passing on a roll‑call vote of five 'Yes' votes and sending the measures to the mayor for approval or disapproval.
