Assemblymember Wilson presented an ordinance to amend the fiscal year capital budget by appropriating $229,050 from the capital improvement and maintenance reserve to the capital projects fund for Bernice Aldridge Park improvements and the small-park replacement program.
Wilson said the allocation would add a basketball court and amenities aimed at older youth; she noted the project supplements earlier work at the park. Public Works staff indicated bidders agreed to honor prices for the project. Assemblymember Kras and Mr. Armstrong asked to be added as co-sponsors and the clerk recorded those requests.
Why it matters: the appropriation covers improvements to a neighborhood park and aims to provide recreational opportunities for older children and teens.
Next steps: the ordinance was presented and co-sponsorships recorded; staff will proceed with project delivery and contracting under borough procurement rules.
