Saddle Brook Council adopts several ordinances, schedules two for March hearing
Summary
The council conducted second readings and adopted multiple municipal ordinances affecting administration, personnel, hunting and firearms, vehicles and traffic, and established a property tax refund for disabled veterans; two ordinances (vehicles/traffic and towing) were introduced for first reading with March 20 final consideration.
At its Feb. 20 meeting the Saddle Brook Township Council advanced several changes to the municipal code and approved an ordinance establishing property tax refunds for disabled veterans.
The council held public hearings on multiple ordinances and, after closing the public portion with no speakers, approved adoption motions and conducted roll calls. Several ordinances listed for second and final reading were adopted (recorded ordinance numbers include 1768, 1769, 1770, 1771 and 1772). Council roll call votes were recorded in the minutes; on one item a council member retracted an earlier affirmative vote then registered a formal “no” when the roll was taken for final passage.
Council members also introduced two ordinances on first reading — an amendment to chapter 196 (vehicles and traffic, ordinance 1773) and an amendment to chapter 91 (towing, ordinance 1774) — and set final passage for March 20, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. at the municipal complex, providing a public hearing date for interested residents.
The meeting record lists the ordinance titles as amendments to municipal code chapters for administration of government, personnel policies, hunting and firearms, and vehicles and traffic. The council directed the township clerk to advertise ordinance titles and publish notices of passage as required by law.
Full ordinance texts, exact statutory changes and any implementing schedules were not included in the meeting record and are listed as not specified; residents seeking specifics were directed to the township clerk’s office and posted notices prior to final adoption.
