Upper Township introduces $3.7 million bond ordinance for capital projects
Summary
Committee introduced Bond Ordinance No. 12 of 2024 to authorize approximately $3.7 million for public works, recreation, public safety equipment, and facility repairs; public hearing set for July 8.
Upper Township Committee introduced Bond Ordinance No. 12 of 2024, proposing to appropriate $3,700,000 for a suite of capital improvements and equipment purchases. The committee set the public hearing and final adoption for July 8.
Officials outlined spending categories covered by the proposed bond: roughly $1.3 million for public works work, resurfacing and recreation facility projects (fields, skate park, security cameras), courthouse audio upgrades (approx. $50,000), storage and building repairs for public works, replacement of aging public-safety radio repeaters, power-load stretchers and a replacement ambulance (the latter was described in the meeting as $430,000), and structural work on a communications tower that yields revenue to the township.
Committee members emphasized that approval of the bond ordinance is only the authorizing step; individual bond-funded purchases must return to the committee for specific resolution approval and appropriation. The ordinance introduction passed on a voice/roll-call motion; the public hearing is scheduled for the July 8 meeting.
The transcript contains a garbled reference to an alternate principal amount immediately after the $3.7 million figure; the committee record at the July 8 hearing should be consulted for the precise financing details before any reporting on final bond terms.
