Summary
Council approved a motion to permit sustainability grant applications, authorized a partial contractor payment of $258,900 for municipal re-roofing, accepted a bills list totaling about $643,000 and cleared four raffle permit applications for local nonprofits.
At its meeting, the New Providence Borough Council approved a set of routine but substantive consent items, including authorization to apply for Sustainable Jersey funding, a contractor partial payment for municipal roof work, and the borough’s monthly bill list.
Resolution 2024-345 authorizes the borough to apply for Sustainable Jersey grants, including a $22,000 award to cover expenses tied to the 2023 Green Challenge and a separate $20,000 grant for a new sustainability project; the application listed PSEG/PSNG as the funding source noted in the transcript. “This is requesting permission to apply for Sustainable Jersey Grant in the amount of $22,000 to be used for expenses related to the 2023 green Challenge and a $20,000 grant for a new project,” the clerk stated.
The council approved Resolution 2024-346, a partial payment No. 1 to Northeast Roof Maintenance Inc. in the amount of $258,900 for partial re-roofing of the municipal center and Memorial Library. Meeting remarks noted the library roof is complete and roughly two-thirds of the municipal center roof remains to be finished.
Finance presented an attached bills list totaling about $643,000. The transcript itemized several line items including $125,340 for Horizon Healthcare, approximately $4,333 for Suburban Disposal (solid waste services in November) and $32,445 for Grand Sanitation (December recycling). Council moved and approved the bill list by roll-call vote.
The council also acknowledged raffle permit applications RA 12:29 and RA 12:30 for the New Providence Education Foundation and RA 12:31 and RA 12:32 for the New Providence High School PTSA; staff reported the applications were properly prepared and reviewed.
At the close of the meeting the mayor called for a roll-call vote on items 1 through 5 on the consent agenda; the motion was moved and seconded and recorded as carried by unanimous recorded vote.
Next procedural steps announced included planned participation of advisory committees in the Jan. 20 MLK volunteer fair and submittal of the Sustainable Jersey grant application; specific implementation timelines were not provided in the transcript.
