Newfield introduces ordinance to authorize sale of telecom easement at 11–17 Gorgo Lane; public hearing set for Feb. 12
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-1, amending a prior ordinance to confirm and authorize sale and lease assignment of a telecom easement for Block 1001.02, Lot 3 (11–17 Gorgo Lane), passed first reading Jan. 7; a public hearing is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2026.
The Borough of Newfield introduced Ordinance No. 2026-1 on first reading at its Jan. 7 reorganization meeting, moving the item to a public hearing on Feb. 12, 2026.
Ordinance 2026-1 amends Ordinance 2025-9 to confirm and authorize the sale of a telecommunications easement and a lease assignment for property identified in the ordinance as Block 1001.02, Lot 3 (11–17 Gorgo Lane). The ordinance was adopted on first reading by unanimous roll-call vote; the council set the public hearing for its Feb. 12 meeting.
Why it matters: The sale or assignment of telecom easements can affect borough property rights and revenues and may have implications for infrastructure access on the specified parcel. The ordinance references the Local Lands and Buildings Law as the authority for the sale and lease assignment.
What happened: Council member Stephanie Engle moved to adopt Ordinance 2026-1 on first reading and Thomas Corwonski seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous. The clerk will schedule the required public notice and a hearing for Feb. 12, 2026, at which the ordinance may be adopted, amended or defeated following public comment and any further council action.
Next step: The ordinance will return for a public hearing and final council action on Feb. 12, 2026. The transcript does not record supporting documents, purchase price, or lessee details; those items were not specified and should be requested from borough officials or the clerk for further detail.
