Tinton Falls council adopts ordinance vacating part of Wardell Road

The Tinton Falls Borough Council voted Dec. 17 to adopt Ordinance 2024-1519, vacating public rights in a portion of a paper street designated on borough tax maps as Wardell Road.

Clerk read the ordinance title before the council opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke during the three-minute comment period. Council then moved to adopt the ordinance and conducted a roll-call vote. The recorded vote showed affirmative votes from Mister Alessi, Doctor Dobrin, Mister Nesse (also recorded as Mister Nessie in the transcript), and Missus Clay. Miss Buckley was recorded as absent. The ordinance was adopted.

Council did not record any substantive discussion or amendments to the ordinance on the transcript. The clerk read the title as “2024-1519, an ordinance vacating the rights of the public in a portion of a paper street designated on the tax maps as Wardell Road.” The council followed its established hearing procedure—title read, public comment allowed for three minutes limited to the ordinance, and adoption by motion and roll call.

Next steps for the ordinance (such as filing the vacation with the county, mapping updates, or administrative implementation) were not described in the transcript and therefore are not reported here.
