At a glance: Colts Neck committee adopts cap bank, police equipment and salary-range ordinances
Summary
At the March 25 meeting the committee adopted several ordinances on a consent and roll-call basis: Ordinance 2026-03 (cap bank), 2026-04 (police firearms equipment, $52,000) and 2026-05 (salary/wage ranges). All three passed on roll call, mostly unanimously.
The Colts Neck Township Committee approved a set of ordinances by roll call at its March 25 meeting.
• Ordinance 2026-03 (cap bank): Second reading and public hearing to exceed municipal appropriation limits (establish cap bank) was adopted after limited public comment; vote was unanimous.
• Ordinance 2026-04 (police firearms equipment): The committee approved an appropriation of $52,000 from the capital improvement fund to procure replacement firearms equipment for the police department; committee members cited officer safety and a trade‑in program that will reduce net cost. The ordinance passed unanimously.
• Ordinance 2026-05 (salary and wage ranges): The committee adopted updated salary/wage ranges to guide hiring and pay bands across township departments. Committee members asked staff to meet with department heads and the police chief to review certain overtime and vehicle policies as they implement the ranges; the ordinance passed on roll call.
These items moved as routine business with public comment opportunities prior to votes. The appointment of an interim deputy municipal clerk (resolution 2026-61) also passed earlier in the meeting and the oath of office was administered to the appointee.
