Councilor Tyriano introduced Ordinance 18-36, which the council read on first introduction and referred to the municipal clerk for statutory publication. The ordinance accepts a $500,000 grant from the State of New Jersey to fund a comprehensive watershed analysis intended to evaluate stormwater management, flooding risk and environmental impacts across multiple municipalities.
Councilor Tyriano described the grant as a multi-town effort that will support a watershed analysis and said the ordinance accepts the grant and appropriates funds for that intended purpose. Councilor Moody congratulated staff and lawmakers who helped secure the funding and thanked Assemblyman [name as pronounced in the record] for assistance in obtaining the award. The ordinance was seconded and the council voted to introduce it on first reading; final adoption requires statutory publication and a subsequent hearing.
The introduction on first reading begins the formal publication and review timeline; the council referred the ordinance to the municipal clerk for statutory posting and further processing. Implementation steps discussed include coordinating stormwater training for planning and board members and scheduling future public hearings required for final ordinance adoption.
