Mayor warns of March 15 affordable-housing deadline; ordinances expected, council may need special meeting
Summary
Mayor Co told the Planning Board the Affordable Housing Council and municipal planners will update the board and that ordinances are forthcoming to meet a March 15 deadline; the mayor said the council might need a special meeting to act on required ordinances.
Mayor Co told the Oradell Planning Board that the Affordable Housing Council and municipal planners will provide an update later in the meeting on progress toward the town’s obligations, and that ordinances will be coming before the board as part of work to meet a March 15 deadline.
The mayor said the schedule will be tight and that the Borough Council — not the planning board — would be the body to call any required special meeting to adopt ordinances. “There will be ordinances coming before the board. It’s going to be a tight schedule,” Mayor Co said.
No ordinance text or specific ordinance numbers were discussed at the Feb. 3 meeting. The mayor said staff and the Affordable Housing Council would update the board; board members indicated they would review materials and the board scheduled a bylaws-review item for its next meeting but did not set a special meeting date for housing ordinances.
Next procedural steps: planners and the Affordable Housing Council are expected to provide the promised update and ordinance drafts; the Borough Council will determine whether a special meeting is necessary to meet the March 15 timeline.
