Summary
At the June 29 meeting the administrator reported DOT-approved bid documents and upcoming contract awards for roadway work, EPA submittal for sewer rehabilitation by July 3, a DMV mobile inspection event on July 13, and updated income limits for the borough housing rehabilitation program offering up to $20,000 in a no‑interest, 10‑year forgivable loan.
During the administrator's report at the June 29 meeting, borough staff provided several infrastructure updates and program notices for residents.
Engineering and capital projects: Staff said the state Department of Transportation approved bid documents for roadway-improvement work (including East Woodland, Grieve Bridge and intersecting streets) and noted a bid opening held June 24 for Clinton Avenue, Yugenot Road, Arlington Road and Yale Street; a resolution to award that work appeared on the meeting agenda. Mill and paving for a main‑street grooming project were reported complete, with a final punch list provided to the contractor. The administrator also said the borough is awaiting the New Jersey Department (NJD) response to a minor technical modification for the French Brook restoration project and that documents for the Pine Avenue sanitary‑sewer rehabilitation project are expected to be submitted to the EPA by July 3.
Programs and community services: A mobile New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission inspection event will be held July 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Nightsfield parking lot on a first‑come, first‑serve basis. The administrator also reported that income limits for the borough's housing‑rehabilitation program have been updated for 2026; qualifying New Milford homeowners may be eligible for up to $20,000 for home repairs, provided as a no‑interest, 10‑year forgivable loan. The clerk will post application information in borough hall and on the borough website.
Events: Staff and council reviewed summer events including movie nights in July, July 4 activities, a Rev 250 family campout and a National Night Out on Aug. 4 (rain date Aug. 6). The council noted registration details will be posted on the borough website and promoted via social channels.
