Mountainside council moves forward with $617,000 library reroofing appropriation
Summary
The Borough Council approved second reading of Ordinance 13-45, appropriating $617,000 from the capital improvement fund for reroofing and repairs at the Mountainside Public Library; the public hearing drew no speakers and the council closed the hearing before voting.
The Borough Council of Mountainside voted to advance Ordinance 13-45, a second-reading ordinance authorizing $617,000 from the borough's capital improvement fund for reroofing and repair work at the Mountainside Public Library. The ordinance states that contributions from the library will reimburse the funds appropriated from the capital improvement fund.
Councilmember Steve introduced the ordinance and opened the public hearing. "Seeing no public participation, I move to close the public session," Steve said; the motion to close was seconded and the council proceeded to a roll-call vote that approved the ordinance.
The ordinance language says the appropriation will fund reroofing and repairs necessary to begin the project; it also specifies that the library will provide contributions to reimburse the capital fund. No members of the public spoke during the hearing.
The council did not discuss alternate funding sources at length during the hearing. The ordinance moves the borough toward contracting or bidding for the work; the meeting record does not specify a construction timetable or contractor award.
The council closed the hearing and adopted Ordinance 13-45 by roll call. The ordinance is a capital appropriation and, as on second reading, will be implemented according to the borough's procurement and contracting procedures.
