Lakehurst council adopts $2 million bond for stormwater management equipment
Summary
The Lakehurst Borough Council adopted a $2,000,000 bond ordinance to acquire stormwater management equipment after a public hearing with no public comment. The measure passed by roll-call vote during the March 20 meeting.
The Lakehurst Borough Council on March 20 adopted Ordinance #2025-02, authorizing $2,000,000 in bonds and notes to finance the acquisition of stormwater management equipment.
The council opened and immediately closed the public hearing on the bond ordinance at 7:37 p.m., with no members of the public offering comment. Councilman Brian DeMeo moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilwoman Bernadette Dugan seconded the motion. The adoption was approved by roll-call vote with no recorded dissents.
The ordinance’s text authorizes the borough to appropriate $2,000,000 and issue bonds and notes in that amount to pay for stormwater equipment; the ordinance was presented as a second-reading adoption. The council did not discuss specific vendors, procurement timelines, or an implementation schedule during the open meeting.
Council members said the finance committee expects to address budget timing in upcoming meetings; the council’s finance commentary earlier in the agenda signaled a municipal budget process aiming for an April introduction. The motion to adopt followed standard roll-call procedure and the ordinance will take effect according to the schedule printed in the ordinance text.
The council returned to other agenda items and later entered closed session on personnel and contract matters; no further action on the bond ordinance was recorded in open session.
