City council approves scores of consent resolutions and several city‑owned property sales
Summary
The Trenton City Council passed a broad consent package of resolutions and moved multiple ordinances authorizing sales of city-owned parcels (including 519 North Clinton, 60 North Stockton and others). Council discussed application backlogs, owner-occupancy preferences and preservation concerns for some properties.
The Trenton City Council approved a large consent agenda of resolutions and moved multiple ordinances that authorize the sale or acceptance of city-owned parcels across several neighborhoods.
After adopting a long consent package (resolutions 26-100 through 26-118) by roll call, the council introduced and voted on a series of ordinances involving city-owned property. Among the ordinances advanced or approved at first reading were:
- Ordinance 26-27: amend prior authorization to sell 519 North Clinton Avenue to Maciel Valdez Garcia for $5,000 (first reading/approval to proceed). - Ordinance 26-30: authorize sale of 325 Jersey Street to Deandre Castillo Valdez for $10,000. - Ordinance 26-31: authorize sale of 60 North Stockton Street to Marcus Palmer for $14,000; Palmer committed to preserve a Roberto Clemente mural on the building’s side wall. - Ordinance 26-32: authorize sale of 120 Genesee Street to Silver Streak I LLC for $9,500 (staff to correct company name spelling in the ordinance paperwork). - Ordinance 26-33: authorize sale of 829 and 833 Stuyvesant Avenue to Garraj Acquisitions LLC for $30,000. - Ordinance 26-34: authorize sale of 140 Home Avenue to Regalisa Holdings LLC for $20,000. - Ordinance 26-35: authorize sale of 33 South Cook Avenue to Maria Carrion Securi for $3,000.
Council members asked staff for more documentation on how adjudicated applications were reviewed and whether notes from the ad hoc economic-development (HED) subcommittee were being circulated; staff said applications are being logged and owner-occupancy proposals receive priority. Council also asked staff to verify company names on formation certificates and ensure ordinances are corrected to match state records.
The sales votes were recorded in the meeting minutes and the motions carried by roll call as read aloud from the dais. The council president indicated the administration and HED subcommittee had reviewed applications and that staff would provide missing meeting notes and additional documentation where needed.
Next steps: second readings or final adoption will occur on future agendas where statutorily required; staff will provide corrective edits to ordinance text (company name spellings) and follow up on documentation requests.
