Woodbridge Township councilors approved a series of ordinances and resolutions by voice vote, including a bond ordinance authorizing $7,360,000 for public improvements and replacement equipment, amendments to local parking rules, multiple property conveyances and a comprehensive rewrite of the township's stormwater-control ordinances.
The meeting opened the second- and third-reading public hearing for the bond ordinance authorizing the $7,360,000 package of public improvements, equipment and vehicles and took the ordinance up on second and third reading with the public hearing opened and closed with no comment. The clerk recorded the adoption motion and the ordinance was submitted to the mayor for approval as required by law.
Council approved four traffic-ordinance amendments (letters b–e) by consent, changing existing parking restrictions near the Green Street trestle from Monday–Friday to Sunday–Saturday on both sides of the street. The council also took five related ordinances (letters f–j) by consent concerning acquisition and conveyance of property intended to preserve recreational space in sections described in the record (including references to a Colonial/Colonia area and Hope Lawn/Hopeland sections) and conveyances to the Board of Education.
Letter k, a full rewrite of chapter 150 governing stormwater controls, was taken up on second and third reading; the council opened a public hearing on the ordinance, heard no public comment, closed the hearing, and adopted the ordinance by voice vote.
Three ordinances (letters l, m and n) were passed on first reading by consent and scheduled for publication on the township website on 04/22/2026, with notice of public hearings to be held on 05/05/2026 at 6:00 p.m. The council also approved resolutions 1 through 14 by consent; one member noted an abstention on number 13 when required.
Votes on these items were recorded as voice votes in the meeting transcript ("All in favor, aye. Aye. Opposed? Ayes have it."), with no roll-call tallies printed in the public record excerpt.
