Rochelle Park introduces $4.5 million bond ordinance to rebuild sanitary sewer pump station
Summary
On June 10 the Rochelle Park Township Committee introduced Ordinance 1268-26, a bond ordinance appropriating $4.5 million and authorizing up to $4.3 million in bonds or notes to finance reconstruction of the sanitary sewer pump station; the ordinance passed first reading and a public hearing is scheduled for July 22 at 7 p.m.
The Rochelle Park Township Committee on June 10 introduced Ordinance 1268-26, which appropriates $4.5 million and authorizes issuance of up to $4.3 million in bonds or notes to finance a portion of reconstruction costs for the township’s sanitary-sewer pump station.
The measure was described at the meeting as an amendment and restatement of a previously adopted bond ordinance tied to the pump-station reconstruction. Committee members voted to introduce the ordinance on first reading; no final adoption occurred at the work session. The clerk announced the ordinance will be considered for final reading and adoption at the June 24 meeting and that a public hearing on the bond ordinance is set for July 22 at 7 p.m. at the Rochelle Park municipal building.
Committee members framed the move as a budgetary step to secure funding for a necessary infrastructure project; additional details about project timeline, contractor selection or specific funding sources were not provided at the June 10 meeting. A separate capital-budget amendment (Resolution 26-173) was discussed as a procedural step related to funding logistics for the pump-station project.
Officials did not provide vote-by-name tallies at first reading beyond roll-call approval recorded in the meeting minutes. Further project details, financing schedules and contractor selections were not provided at the work session and will be addressed in subsequent public hearings and meetings.
