Council advances $990,000 bond ordinance for Boonton water-system upgrades
Summary
After a brief public hearing with no public comment, the council voted to advance Ordinance 5-26, a bond ordinance appropriating $990,000 and authorizing $900,000 in bonds/notes to fund upgrades to the wellfield and water-treatment plant.
The Boonton Town Council opened a public hearing and voted to advance Ordinance 5-26, a bond ordinance described as providing for improvement of the town's water supply and distribution system.
The ordinance authorizes an appropriation of $990,000 and the issuance of up to $900,000 in bonds or notes to finance that appropriation. Council members discussed the purpose on the record, saying the funds target upgrades to the wellfield and the water-treatment plant, which were described as long overdue.
No members of the public spoke at the hearing. After council discussion, a motion to move the ordinance forward passed on a roll-call vote with members present recorded as voting yes.
Next steps: Because the council moved the ordinance forward, it will return for a future public hearing and final adoption where financing details and any amendments will be finalized.
