Summary
On April 28 the Freehold Township Committee adopted several ordinances (including traffic and conservation measures), enacted a consent agenda covering contracts and facilities approvals, approved a consolidated bills list of $20,323,900.24 and referred a property to the Planning Board for redevelopment study under N.J. redevelopment law.
The Freehold Township Committee approved a slate of ordinances and routine resolutions at its April 28 meeting in a single set of votes.
Ordinances adopted included O-26-14 (to exceed municipal budget appropriation limits and establish a 2026 cap bank), O-26-15 (accepting utility and pedestrian/sidewalk easements for Block 79, Lots 3, 5 and 7), O-26-16 (accepting a deed of dedication for road widening at 82 Gravel Hill Road, Block 89, Lot 1), O-26-17 (amending traffic rules to prohibit certain left turns and U-turns, including left turns from Siloam Road onto Peony Place serving the Estates at Brock Farms), and O-26-18 (accepting conservation and scenic roadway corridor easements for Block 41, Lot 3). Each ordinance was opened for public hearing; no public comments were recorded and each measure passed on unanimous recorded votes by Committeeman Ammiano, Committeewoman Fasano, Committeeman Walker and Mayor Preston (Committeeman Cook absent).
Ordinance O-26-19 (amending rent-control automatic increase provisions) was tabled after Township Attorney Mr. Ball recommended revisions to ensure compliance with state statute; the committee voted to table the ordinance indefinitely pending potential reintroduction in June.
Under new business the committee approved Resolution R-26-88, a consolidated bills list totaling $20,323,900.24. The committee also adopted R-26-89 directing the Planning Board to determine whether Block 70.05, Lot 10 (3670 U.S. Route 9) is an area in need of redevelopment under the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1 et seq.).
The consent agenda (R-26-90 through R-26-95) was enacted in one motion and included a redevelopment designation for Block 83 Lots 5 and 6, approval of a Verizon Wireless facility modification application, extension of the golf-course and banquet rental contract for one year, additional funds for cold-water meters and AMI hardware, authorization of a playground installation through the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey contract, and reduction of performance guarantees for a subdivision at 227 Monmouth Road. The consent agenda passed unanimously with one member absent.
All recorded votes on ordinances and resolutions showed ayes from Committeeman Ammiano, Committeewoman Fasano, Committeeman Walker and Mayor Preston; Committeeman Cook was listed as absent for the roll calls.
