Council approves LSRP contract amendment, parking repair and $5,000 food‑pantry donation; names Cindy Yan environmental commission chair

The Lambertville City Council approved three resolutions and an appointment during its public meeting.

The council voted by voice to approve resolutions numbered in the meeting as 174 through 176. The first resolution authorizes an amendment to the contract with Gilmont to pay for additional LSRP services and testing at the park so the city can complete work required to realize Green Acres funding and reopen the park. The second resolution authorizes St. Joe’s to repave a parking lot that overlaps a city right‑of‑way called Black Wall Court. The third resolution authorizes a $5,000 donation from the city’s emergency fund to local food pantries in response to a declared state emergency; the mayor said the emergency fund was created from resident donations and will retain about $12,000 after the transfer.

After those items the council approved the bills list and a motion to pay bills that included the two checks to the food banks and a reimbursement to workers’ compensation for an employee overpayment.

The mayor also nominated Cindy Yan to serve as chair of the Environmental Commission with a term expiring Dec. 31, 2028; the council approved her appointment by voice vote.

The mayor described the LSRP contract amendment as necessary because additional testing was required before the city can secure Green Acres funds for the park’s reopening. No individual roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript; the minutes indicate approval by voice vote with no further recorded opposition or abstentions.

The council did not take additional direction on funding beyond the approved donation; no further procedural steps were announced at the meeting.
