Hudson County commissioners introduce bond measures and adopt three ordinances after public hearings
Summary
The Board introduced bond ordinances for the Hudson County Schools of Technology and Hudson County Community College, and adopted three county ordinances after second readings and public hearings covering administrative code changes, parking regulations and traffic calming devices.
Hudson County’s Board of Commissioners introduced two bond ordinances and approved three county ordinances during its Aug. 14 meeting, the board said.
Finance and administration presented a bond ordinance to appropriate $1,500,000 for capital improvements and equipment for the Hudson County Schools of Technology and to authorize issuance of $1,500,000 in bonds and notes. The board also introduced a $6,634,062 bond ordinance for capital projects at Hudson County Community College; the ordinance notes that principal and interest may be entitled to state aid under the 1971 statute cited in the ordinance language.
During the meeting the board held the required second readings and public hearings on three county ordinances. No public speakers appeared on the items and the board closed the hearings before taking final action. Ordinance A1, which amends provisions of the Hudson County administrative code pursuant to the optional county chapter law (NJSA 40:41A-1), passed on final adoption after roll-call voting. Commissioner O'Day recorded a vote in opposition on the final adoption; the clerk announced the ordinance was adopted.
The board also adopted Ordinance A2, amending the administrative code to regulate parking on John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City, and Ordinance A3, establishing traffic-calming devices on Newark Street and Monroe Grove Street in Hoboken. The clerk conducted roll-call votes and the ordinances were adopted after the hearings were closed.
Separately, roads and public property introduced an amendment to chapter 200 to regulate bus stops on Bergen Turnpike in North Bergen and finance/administration introduced other capital ordinances for future action.
Next steps: the bond ordinances were introduced for future consideration; the three amended ordinances adopted at second reading will proceed according to the county’s municipal procedures for enacted county ordinances.
Votes and procedure: The record shows the hearings were advertised and posted as required, no public testimony was offered on the three ordinances at their second readings, and the clerk conducted roll-call votes for final adoption. The meeting minutes and formal roll-call records will contain the official vote tallies.
