Spring Lake Heights council adopts $1M bond ordinance, approves permits and memberships
Summary
On Sept. 15 the Spring Lake Heights Borough Council adopted Ordinance 2025-15, a $1,000,000 bond ordinance for 2025 capital improvements, and approved routine consent items including outdoor music and junior fire company memberships.
The Spring Lake Heights Borough Council adopted Ordinance 2025-15 on Sept. 15, approving a bond ordinance that appropriates $1,000,000 for various 2025 capital improvements and authorizes the issuance of $950,000 in bonds or notes.
The public hearing was opened by a motion of Councilman John Casagrande and drew a question from resident Elizabeth Kelsey about whether the ordinance included a Shore Road playground; Mayor Christopher Campion clarified that Shore Road was not part of this ordinance. The ordinance was adopted on a motion by Casagrande, seconded by Leonard Capristo, with the five members present voting in favor (Councilman William Graetz was absent).
The council also approved the consent agenda items R2025-162 and R2025-163, which included approval of an outdoor music permit for The Mill Lakeside Manor and designation of two junior members for Independent Fire Co. No. 1. Resolution R2025-164, approving payment of the itemized bills list dated Sept. 12, 2025, passed on a subsequent motion. All consent and routine items passed on unanimous voice votes among members present.
Other business: Council updates included hydrant flushing notices and a reminder that the Spring Lake Heights First Aid Squad is volunteer-run and seeking members. Councilman Leonard Capristo gave an update on Joseph E. Robertson Park; Borough Engineer Joseph May said the park is expected to reopen in the coming weeks, weather permitting. Clerk Janine Gillis reviewed the timeline, vendors and dates for the Fall Festival. The meeting adjourned at 8:46 p.m.
The bond ordinance's specific capital projects and line-item funding were not detailed in the audible public record at the September 15 meeting; the ordinance text is part of the municipal record and available for review in borough files.
