Ogdensburg moves ahead on property auction planning and seeks multi-year NJDEP permit for Bridge Street field
Summary
Councilors reported progress toward auctioning select municipal properties and directed staff to submit a multi-year NJDEP application for the Bridge Street field; the borough attorney ordered title reports and said redevelopment review and planner input will continue.
Council members reported Feb. 24 that the borough is preparing to auction several municipal properties and will apply to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for multi-year use of the Bridge Street field.
Councilman Ciasullo said staff are working with Max Spann (a real-estate auction firm) to organize property sales and that borough personnel have ordered title reports. Borough Attorney Robert McBriar said he reviewed Max Spann's proposed form of contract and noted that an internal packet was for council members' initial review; he advised ongoing work preparing the ordinance and contract forms for a future agenda. CFO Mike Marceau suggested planner review for properties that might be redevelopment candidates.
Separately, Recreation/Administration staff reported that the NJDEP online application for Bridge Street field asks whether the borough wants permanent, multi-year or one-year use; with ORA soccer starting March 15, the council directed staff to apply for multi-year use and noted a future lease would define terms and any fees.
Members discussed restrictions and logistics but took no final sale or lease action on Feb. 24; staff will continue title research, draft contract forms and file the NJDEP application for multi-year use.
