Mayor leads council in opposing proposed state climate resiliency rules
Summary
Brigantine’s City Council on Sept. 17 approved Resolution 2025-217 asking the state to review its proposed climate‑resiliency regulations, with the mayor saying the rules as written would be “unfair and unrealistic” for Brigantine and similar coastal communities.
Brigantine’s mayor introduced and the City Council approved Resolution 2025‑217 on Sept. 17, urging state regulators to review proposed climate‑resiliency rules and to follow established regulatory processes rather than what the city characterized as potential shortcuts.
In presenting the resolution, the mayor said the draft regulations would impose requirements Brigantine and other coastal municipalities consider “unfair and unrealistic,” and asked the state to ensure the rule‑making process includes the same procedural review required for other regulatory actions. Council members moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
Why it matters: the resolution is a formal municipal statement that requests review of state policy and signals local objections; it does not itself change state regulations. The city will forward the resolution to the relevant state agencies as its official position.
