The Borough of Wildwood Crest on [meeting date] passed three ordinances on first reading and approved multiple routine resolutions during a regularly scheduled meeting.
Madame Clerk read Ordinance No. 1470, which amends Chapter 35 (Fire Prevention) to update smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm compliance provisions and adds inspection/fee provisions; the governing body moved and seconded the ordinance and scheduled second and final reading and a public hearing for Dec. 3, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. Similar motions carried for Ordinance No. 1471 (amending Chapter 32A to provide for beach‑box rental fees) and Ordinance No. 1472 (amending Chapter 56 to confirm recreation commission rates and fees). Each ordinance passed its first reading by roll call vote of the three commissioners.
In addition to the ordinance readings, the commission adopted a series of resolutions authorizing routine administrative and capital items. Among them were: release of escrow funds for permit SO25‑0604 ($530); authorization to purchase a VMS valve maintenance skid and trailer for public works under cooperative purchasing; purchase of a 2026 Ford F450 extended‑cab 4x4 pickup (described in the meeting as having a dump body) under state contract; release of performance bond funds for permit SO25‑0903 ($6,275); cancellation of bond ordinance improvement authorization balances; amendments to established salaries for 2025 stipend agreements; cancellation of trust account balances; purchase of a LiftMaster gate controller under New Jersey state contract #42274; appointment of one Class II police officer; establishment of a disbursement account at Crest Savings Bank with authorized signatories; and the authorization to pay all properly submitted bills. Each resolution was moved, seconded and adopted by roll call vote with each commissioner recorded as voting yes.
Why it matters: The ordinance readings set public hearings where residents may comment before final adoption; the resolutions authorize routine borough operations and small capital purchases that affect maintenance and services for residents.
What’s next: The ordinances will return for second and final reading and public hearing on Dec. 3, 2025 at 9:30 a.m. The meeting record shows unanimous support for the listed resolutions and motions.
