Gloucester Township council adopts pay ordinance, introduces speed-limit change and approves consent agenda

Gloucester Township Council voted to adopt an amendment to the township compensation ordinance and moved forward with other routine business during its regular meeting.

The council adopted Ordinance 0-26-10, an amendment to Ordinance 0-25-23 that adds a part-time collection systems license operator position and establishes a pay range for that role. The public hearing on the ordinance was opened and, with no members of the public speaking on the matter, closed before the council moved to adopt the measure. Roll-call votes recorded in the meeting transcript show affirmative votes from Mrs. Aubrey Troxel, Mr. Nash, Mrs. Walters, Mr. Castro and Mr. Marcato.

The council also introduced Ordinance 0-26-11 for first reading, which would amend chapter 81, section 31 of the township code to reduce speed limits between Clifton Avenue and Pine Avenue. Council members moved to introduce the ordinance; recorded 'yes' votes on that motion included Mrs. Aubrey Troxel, Mr. Nash, Mrs. Walters, Mr. Castro and Mr. Marcato. A public hearing and final vote will occur at the ordinance’s second reading.

In other business, Council approved Resolution 2603-100 (listed as old business on the agenda) and accepted the consent agenda by roll call. The transcript records affirmative roll-call responses during each vote from the council members listed above. The meeting record does not list the names of the members who made or seconded the motions; the transcript captures only that motions were made and seconded and shows the roll-call voting outcomes.

The meeting proceeded to the public comment portion and other agenda items following these votes.
