Glen Ridge council approves routine resolutions; water‑meter change order cleared 5‑0
Summary
The council voted unanimously (5‑0) to approve several routine resolutions including payment of bills, permits for a fundraiser and raffle, endorsement of a state history initiative, and a change order to a water‑meter contract; staff will follow up on the water‑meter contract accounting discrepancy in the transcript.
The Glen Ridge Mayor and Council approved a series of routine resolutions and licenses at the meeting.
Resolution 136‑25 (payment of bills and payroll) was moved by Councilor Meyer and approved on a 5‑0 roll call. Councilor Meyer handled the motion and the clerk recorded five affirmative votes.
The council approved Resolution 137‑25, authorizing a social affair permit for a Lamp for Haiti fundraiser at the Glen Ridge Women’s Club on Nov. 1, 2025, and Resolution 138‑25, granting an on‑premises merchandise raffle license to the Glen Ridge High School Association for Nov. 16, 2025. Both motions passed on unanimous voice votes.
Councilors also voted to endorse "Revolution NJ" (Resolution 139‑25), a state initiative tied to the 2026 commemoration of the nation’s founding; Councilor Zimit moved the endorsement and the resolution passed unanimously.
On Resolution 140‑25, Councilor Law reported that National Meter Services of Carne, N.J., was the lowest responsible bidder for the borough’s full water‑meter replacement at $32,340. During the work, additional materials and effort required a change order of $11,968, which the council approved. The meeting transcript lists a resulting total of "314,38," which appears to be a transcription error; the council approved the change order 5‑0.
The meeting opened and closed two public comment periods and included committee reports and routine announcements; there were no contested votes or defeated measures.
