The Borough Council approved a consent agenda covering routine and substantive items: awarding a contract for sanitary collection, appointing a substitute crossing guard, authorizing bids for the old library renovation, endorsing housing plan documents, and approving $1,885,975.03 in bills.
On March 3 the Borough of Caldwell Council adopted a multi-item consent agenda by a single motion and roll-call vote, approving resolutions that the council described as routine but that include contractual and financial actions.
Notable items approved on the consent agenda included: a $250 escrow refund to a zoning board appellant; submission of the borough’s annual recycling tonnage report to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for 2025; appointment of Ruth Peters as a substitute crossing guard effective immediately; a contract award to Natural Systems Utilities for a C-2 sanitary collection system operator; authorization for the borough administrator to seek bids for renovation of the old library building; endorsement of the borough’s housing plan element, fair share plan and spending plan; and payment of bills totaling $1,885,975.03 for the February 14–27, 2026 period.

Council members voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda. No items were removed for separate discussion at the meeting; the clerk will complete required filings and procurement follow-up as appropriate.
