Public questions at Keansburg council meeting cover EMS ordinance, STRs, library facility and sober-living capacity
Summary
Residents at the Oct. 16 Keansburg meeting asked about the introduced EMS dispatch fee and short-term rental ordinance, requested a baby-changing station at the library men's room, and inquired about a possible sober living facility; the code enforcement officer said the borough is at the state maximum number for such facilities.
During the Oct. 16 public comment period at the Keansburg Borough Council meeting, residents asked questions on several introduced ordinances and local facilities.
Cristina Onciu asked for details on Ordinance #1735 (EMS dispatch fee for patient care facilities) and Ordinance #1736 (short-term rental rules) that had been introduced earlier in the meeting; council members said the ordinances would be posted to the borough website before the Nov. 13 hearing date. Economic development coordinator Cliff Moore confirmed two STR outreach meetings had informed the draft short-term rental rules.
Kevin Gubelman asked whether the borough would consider installing a baby-changing station in the men’s restroom at the library; the request was recorded for follow-up. Rochelle Ryder asked about the potential for a sober-living facility at 121 Main Street (the former St. Ann’s Day Care Center); Code Enforcer Christopher Hoff said state-imposed limits based on borough population mean the borough is at the maximum number allowed for such facilities.
Council closed the public portion following those remarks.
