Summary
The council approved a multi-item consent agenda, authorized change orders and contract actions, adopted bond and code ordinances, and passed a resolution opposing Senate bill S4736 (Deputy Mayor Quinn recorded a lone no vote).
The Asbury Park City Council approved a series of routine and substantive actions during its meeting, including a consent agenda of resolutions, change orders on a boardwalk restroom project, adoption of a bond ordinance for Third Avenue improvements, two amendments to the municipal code, and a resolution opposing state Senate bill S4736.
On consent the council approved resolutions 2025496 through 2025501 and authorized payment of bills through Resolution 2025502. The body also approved Resolution 2025503, authorizing change orders numbers 4 and 5 for the Asbury Park Boardwalk restroom project. The council rejected bids for the new Asbury Park Fire Department headquarters response and alerting system and instead awarded the contract using a state-authorized contract under Resolution 2025433.
The council introduced and adopted Bond Ordinance 202523, which appropriates $2,475,000 for roadway improvements to Third Avenue and authorizes issuance of bonds and notes to finance part of the project. The ordinance was opened for public comment, received no speakers, and was adopted by roll-call vote.
Council members also adopted Ordinance 202530 (amending chapter 12 of the city code related to building and construction to establish a new security section) and Ordinance 202531 (amending code sections on police and fire alarm systems and fire protection). Both ordinances were opened for public comment and adopted after no public speakers were recorded.
The council took an additional vote on an added resolution, 2025505, opposing state Senate bill S4736. The resolution passed with a majority; Deputy Mayor Quinn recorded a "no" vote while other listed council members voted "yes."
All motions on the consent agenda, resolutions and ordinances were carried by roll-call votes as recorded in the meeting.
What happens next: Implementation tasks noted in the meeting (contract processing, publishing ordinances, and change-order administration) will be completed by city staff as required in each resolution or ordinance.
