Bellmawr council gives first reading to ordinance creating a lead-based paint code chapter
Summary
The Bellmawr Borough Council introduced (first reading) an ordinance to add a chapter addressing lead-based paint to the municipal code; the solicitor read the ordinance and the council moved, seconded and held a roll call for introduction. No final adoption occurred tonight.
Bellmawr’s council held the first reading of an ordinance to create a new municipal code chapter addressing lead-based paint.
The borough’s solicitor read the ordinance identified on the record as '03 Colon04Dash26,' describing it as “an ordinance of the borough of Bellmawr, County of Camden, State of New Jersey, establishing a new chapter entitled lead-based paint in the borough code.” After the reading the mayor requested a motion; a motion and second were recorded and a roll call for introduction took place.
The first reading formally introduces the ordinance for future consideration; council members did not vote on final adoption tonight. The solicitor said the item is an introduction and asked that it be placed on the agenda for formal consideration at a later meeting. No public comments on the ordinance were recorded during tonight’s public-comment period.
What happens next: the ordinance will return for further consideration (a second reading and a final vote at a later meeting) where the council may hear formal public comment and vote to adopt or reject it.
