Glen Ridge council approves claims warrants, $1.7M bond for water‑meter project and several event licenses
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 48‑26 (claims and warrants), Resolution 49‑26 (bonds up to $1.7 million for water‑meter replacement under the New Jersey Water Bank), raffle licenses for the high school and the PBA, and a conditional fireworks permit for the Glen Ridge Country Club.
The council approved several finance and licensing measures in a single meeting sequence.
Councilor Lefkowitz moved Resolution 48‑26 to approve claims and warrants (including transfers to the Board of Education); the motion was seconded and the roll call registered unanimous ayes.
Councilor Lefkowitz also moved Resolution 49‑26 to authorize bonds not to exceed $1,700,000 and to provide for their sale to the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank under the New Jersey Water Bank environmental infrastructure financing program to fund the borough’s water‑meter replacement project. Council members voted in favor and the motion carried.
The council additionally approved raffle licenses (Resolution 50‑26 for Glen Ridge High School/Holland School Association and Resolution 51‑26 for the Glen Ridge PBA) and conditionally approved a private‑property fireworks display application from the Glen Ridge Country Club for July 4 (Resolution 52‑26), subject to Montclair Fire Department review.
Roll‑call outcomes: each resolution was moved, seconded and approved by recorded vote (ayes recorded across the council). No amendments or dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript.
What's next: the water‑meter project financing will proceed under the terms authorized by Resolution 49‑26; permit approvals for events remain conditional on any outside agency reviews where noted.
