Loading...
Summary
The Somerset County Board adopted bond ordinance 25-299, authorizing a $20,500,000 appropriation for improvements at TD Bank Ballpark and issuance of $19,475,000 in bonds; a public hearing on the ordinance drew no speakers and the vote was unanimous as recorded in roll call.
The Somerset County Board of County Commissioners voted to adopt bond ordinance 25-299, authorizing a $20,500,000 appropriation for improvements at TD Bank Ballpark and authorizing the issuance of $19,475,000 in bonds or notes to finance part of the cost.
The ordinance was introduced during the meeting; the board opened a public hearing specifically for the ordinance. The board asked if anyone from the public wished to speak on the ordinance "and this ordinance only"; hearing none, the board closed the public portion of the hearing.
A motion to adopt ordinance 25-299 was moved and seconded and passed by roll-call vote. Commissioners recorded affirmative votes as: Commissioner Greener (yes), Commissioner Drake (yes), Commissioner Sui (yes), Deputy director Murano (yes), and Director Robinson (yes). No dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript.
The ordinance’s text, as read into the record, states an appropriation of $20,500,000 for improvements at TD Bank Ballpark and authorizes issuance of $19,475,000 in bonds or notes of Somerset County to finance part of the cost. The meeting record does not specify further project detail, contract awards, or an effective date beyond adoption; none were mentioned during the hearing.
Because no members of the public spoke during the hearing and ensuing discussion was limited to the formal motion and roll-call, the adoption stands as the board’s formal action on the item for this meeting.
