Council approves consent agenda and boardwalk change order; introduces $1.5M bond ordinance for Langford Street
Summary
Council approved several consent resolutions and payment of bills, authorized a change order exceeding the 20% threshold for the boardwalk restroom project, and introduced Ordinance 2026-9, a $1.5 million bond ordinance for Langford Street improvements with a May 13 public hearing.
The Asbury Park City Council approved routine consent items, authorized a change order for the boardwalk restroom project and introduced a bond ordinance to fund roadway improvements to Langford Street.
On the consent agenda the council approved Resolutions 2026-185, 2026-186, 2026-187 and 2026-174 by roll call after separating Resolution 2026-184 for individual consideration. Resolution 2026-184 (special event applications) was then approved separately following presentation by Recreation Director Alicia Foelix.
Council approved Resolution 2026-188 to pay bills; the clerk noted that purchase order 25-01769 was removed from the bill list before the vote. The body also approved Resolution 2026-189, which authorizes Change Order 12 and a request to exceed the 20% change-order threshold for the Asbury Park Boardwalk restroom project.
The council introduced Ordinance 2026-9, a bond ordinance appropriating $1.5 million for roadway improvements to Langford Street and authorizing the issuance of bonds and notes; a public hearing is scheduled for May 13. The transcript contains garbled text about the precise bond issuance figure; the ordinance text read into the record specifies an appropriation of $1.5 million and a May 13 public hearing date.
Why it matters: the approvals move forward capital and maintenance work on the boardwalk restroom and pave the way for Langford Street roadway improvements; the change-order approval exceeded a typical contract threshold and will be reflected in project contracting records.
What’s next: staff will process the approved payments and change order; the council will hold a public hearing on Ordinance 2026-9 on May 13.
