Sayreville council adopts six ordinances, approves equipment and personnel moves
Summary
At its November 2025 regular meeting, the Sayreville mayor and borough council adopted six ordinances on second and final reading, approved multiple vehicle and equipment purchases through cooperative contracts, and authorized two municipal court promotions.
The Sayreville mayor and borough council adopted six ordinances on second and final reading at its November 2025 regular meeting and approved a series of procurement and personnel actions.
The clerk opened public hearings for Ordinances 33-25 through 38-25, which update permitting or regulatory rules for special events, portable-stage use, park rentals, special-event vendor permits, fees and licenses, and the environmental commission. No members of the public spoke during those hearings; a council member moved to close each hearing and the council adopted each ordinance on a roll-call vote.
Council also moved through multiple authorizations for borough purchases and contracts. Items approved or advanced without objection included a painting contract to GPC Inc. (amount not to exceed $22,255.17), the purchase of a 2026 Ford Bronco for the construction office (amount not to exceed $39,898.30), the acquisition of police and fire vehicles through cooperative contracts, and fire-equipment procurement from Skylands Area Fire Equipment and Training (amount not to exceed $80,027.18). The council authorized the purchase of larger public-works equipment including a Kenworth packer truck (not to exceed $229,685.81), a Bobcat compact track loader (not to exceed $112,928.32), and an Elgin Broom Bear street sweeper (not to exceed $415,890.30). Several purchases were procured via cooperative or state contracts as noted on the record.
The council also approved two municipal court promotions effective Dec. 1, 2025: Marissa Barbieri (Clerk 1 to Violations Clerk) and Joyce Wojcick (Clerk 2 to Violations Clerk). The CFO reported only a transfer resolution for the meeting, and the borough engineer sought authorization to prepare plans and specifications to bid road-improvement projects tied to a previously adopted bond ordinance.
All ordinance adoptions and procurement authorizations were conducted by roll-call votes. The consent agenda passed with one council member recorded as opposing two consent items (identified in the meeting record as items numbered 2025254 and 2025255); the record did not provide additional details about those two items during the public portion.
What's next: the borough attorney and staff will proceed with contract and procurement administration as authorized; road-project bidding preparations will be scheduled as directed by the engineer.
(Attributions: statements and motions reported from the mayor and clerk during the council meeting; procurement amounts and promotion effective dates were read aloud during the meeting.)
