Metuchen council adopts affirmative marketing plan in short special meeting
Summary
The Metuchen Borough Council voted to approve Resolution 2026-116, adopting an affirmative marketing plan required for its state-mandated affordable housing plan and to meet a court filing deadline; no public comment was taken and the meeting adjourned quickly.
The Metuchen Borough Council voted to approve Resolution 2026-116, adopting an affirmative marketing plan intended to support the borough’s state-mandated affordable housing plan and meet a court filing deadline, during a brief special meeting.
Mayor Bush said the extra meeting was necessary because “we have to get something to the court with respect to our state mandated affordable housing plan by Monday.” A council member then moved to approve Resolution 2026-116 “adopting the affirmative marketing plan for the borough of Metuchen,” the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor.
The action was taken without public comment; the mayor checked for members of the public and said there was nobody in the chamber, so the council closed public comment before the vote. The mayor also noted that five of the six council members were available for the special meeting.
After approving the resolution, a council member moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the council voted to adjourn. Council members confirmed the next regular meeting would be on the 23rd (referred to in the meeting as “week from Monday”).
The council did not identify individual roll-call votes in the transcript; the motion passed by voice vote of those present. The transcript does not specify which court will receive the filing or provide the full text of the affirmative marketing plan beyond the resolution title.
