Salem County commissioners introduce two ordinances, set Nov. 19 hearing on bridge repair funding
Summary
The Salem County Board of County Commissioners introduced two ordinances Nov. 5, including one that cancels $326,282.42 in excess bond proceeds and reappropriates the funds for emergency repair of Kings Highway Bridge; a public hearing and adoption are scheduled for Nov. 19, 2025.
The Salem County Board of County Commissioners on Nov. 5 introduced two ordinances that advance several county capital projects and authorize the re‑use of excess bond proceeds.
One ordinance, introduced as Ordinance 2025-0006, amends previously adopted capital ordinances to add or change authorized projects. A motion to introduce the ordinance was made and seconded, and the board recorded affirmative roll‑call responses to move the measure forward for public hearing and eventual adoption.
The second ordinance, introduced as Ordinance 2025-0007 and referenced in the meeting transcript as the “James Bond ordinance,” cancels excess bond proceeds in the amount of $326,282.42 and reappropriates those proceeds to an emergency appropriation to fund repair of Kings Highway Bridge. The motion to introduce Ordinance 2025-0007 passed on a unanimous roll‑call vote. The board scheduled a public hearing and adoption vote for the Nov. 19, 2025 meeting.
The meeting record shows no substantive debate on either ordinance during the Nov. 5 session; both measures were introduced and carried forward for the next public hearing where members of the public will have an opportunity to comment before the board votes to adopt or amend them.
