Rahway council advances filming and water-leak ordinances on first reading, adopts consent agenda and approves sale of 6 Broadway
Summary
On June 8 the Rahway City Council advanced an ordinance updating filming rules and an ordinance adding a water‑leak adjustment policy on first reading, adopted a consent agenda including a Netspeed pole-use resolution and multiple housekeeping items, and approved sale of 6 Broadway on second reading.
At the June 8 meeting the council moved two ordinances on first reading and set them for public hearing and final adoption on July 6, 2026. O-15-26 would repeal and replace Chapter 203 of the city code to reflect changes requested by the New Jersey Film and Television Commission; O-16-26 would add section 411-6 to the water and sewer chapter to allow rare leak adjustments to customer bills when a city asset or city action is shown to have caused a leak.
Council members also approved a multi-item consent agenda (AR-135-26 through AR-147-26) by single motion. The consent agenda included a resolution granting Netspeed LLC (doing business as goNetspeed) use of poles in the public right-of-way to expand wireless broadband options, a non-fair-and-open contract authorization for Wisdom Media for creative services, a hold-harmless agreement for the city’s annual fireworks with the historic Rahway Cemetery, engineering and CDBG professional-service authorizations (Arthon/CME), tax-refund housekeeping, and other routine items.
On second reading the council adopted O-14-26, authorizing sale of property known as block 198 lot 11 (6 Broadway). No members of the public spoke on that ordinance during the hearing.
All listed votes on the June 8 consent agenda and ordinance actions passed by roll call with council members present voting in favor and Moika absent. The ordinances O-15-26 and O-16-26 will return on July 6 for final adoption.
