Summary
The Absecon City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 02-2025 allowing the municipality to exceed the budget appropriations limit and establish a cap bank; the measure passed on final reading after a roll-call vote and was declared approved.
The Absecon City Council adopted Ordinance 02-2025 on final reading, authorizing the city to exceed its municipal budget appropriations limit and to establish a cap bank.
The ordinance was read for a second time and put to a vote; following a motion and second, the presiding officer called for a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded votes in favor and the presiding officer stated, “this ordinance has been heard and is finally approved.”
Why it matters: The ordinance allows the city to carry forward unused municipal cap from one year to another, giving the governing body flexibility to manage spending limits under the state’s municipal finance rules. Council members said the measure was a technical but important step for 2025 budget planning.
Council action and next steps: The council approved the ordinance by roll call. No amendments or separate public testimony were recorded during the final-reading sequence; the ordinance will take effect according to municipal procedure. The clerk and administrative staff will incorporate the change into the 2025 budget process.
