High Bridge council adopts new meeting rules and updates grease-trap code
Summary
The High Bridge Borough Council on Dec. 14 adopted two ordinances: amendments to meeting-and-conference rules (Ordinance 2023-032) and updates to the municipal grease-trap code (Ordinance 2023-033). Both measures passed by unanimous roll-call votes.
The High Bridge Borough Council on Dec. 14 adopted two ordinances updating municipal rules and the borough's grease-trap regulations.
Municipal Clerk Adam Young outlined the intent of Ordinance 2023-032, which amends Chapter 2-11 on meetings and conferences. The council opened and closed the public hearing and then adopted the ordinance on a roll-call vote, with six council members voting yes and none opposed.
Clerk Young and Councilman Silvestri described changes in Ordinance 2023-033 to Chapter 303 on grease traps; Councilman Silvestri spoke to the ordinance's intent during the public hearing. That ordinance also passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
Both ordinances were presented as local code housekeeping and policy clarifications; the minutes record no public opposition during the hearings. The council conducted each item under standard procedure: opening the hearing, brief staff explanation of intent and purpose, closing the hearing, and voting.
Next steps: both ordinances were adopted at the Dec. 14 meeting and will be reflected in the borough code. No effective dates or additional implementation steps beyond adoption were specified in the minutes.
