Woodcliff Lake council introduces resident-parking ordinance, budget-cap ordinance and approves consent agenda
Summary
The borough introduced Ordinance 254 (restricting certain borough parking lots to residents) and Ordinance 255 (a CAP-bank/budget-appropriation item), moved the consent agenda and recorded unanimous 'all in favor' votes; the council also opened and closed a public hearing on an Open Space Trust Fund park grant application.
The Woodcliff Lake Borough Council on April 21 introduced two ordinances and approved the consent agenda after routine votes.
Ordinance 254 was introduced to amend the borough code governing vehicles and traffic to restrict certain borough parking lots to residents. Council members discussed that the ordinance would not remove current, already-purchased permits for non-residents this year; permits sold for the current year would be honored, councilors said. The ordinance was introduced by motion, seconded and recorded "all in favor." The council did not adopt final passage at the meeting; introduction was the formal first step.
Ordinance 255 was introduced to exceed municipal budget appropriation limits and establish a CAP bank under the applicable New Jersey statute; that ordinance likewise was introduced by motion, seconded, and recorded as introduced.
The council also opened and then closed a public hearing on the borough’s Open Space Trust Fund application for tennis-court and park improvements, a matching grant of $400,000 if awarded. Councilors emphasized the application is an early step; if the grant is awarded, the council will later decide how to provide the required local match.
Motions on the minutes, the ordinance introductions and the consent agenda were moved and seconded during the meeting and were recorded on the floor as passed with unanimous "all in favor" responses. No roll-call vote-by-name was read into the record for those specific motions during the audio provided.
