At its Feb. 11 meeting the Lindenwold Borough Council approved two bond ordinances—one for capital equipment and improvements and one for sewer utility work—and adopted a consent agenda of routine resolutions including a grant application and legal appointments.
The Lindenwold Borough Council on Feb. 11 approved two bond ordinances to fund capital equipment and sewer utility projects and enacted a set of routine resolutions.
At second reading, the council approved Bond Ordinance 2026:1, which appropriates $4,072,600 for various pieces of capital equipment and improvements and authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds or bond anticipation notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3,868,970. Council members recorded no public comment on the ordinance and the motion carried with a recorded "AYES: ALL, NAYS: NONE."
The council also approved Bond Ordinance 2026:2 at second reading, authorizing $3,695,000 in appropriations for the sewer utility and permitting issuance of bonds or notes up to that amount; the public hearing was reported as none and the motion passed with an "AYES: ALL" vote.
On the consent agenda the council approved Resolutions 2026:68–77 by a single motion. Items included budget transfers (Res. 2026:68); authorization to repair Pump Station 1's 84.5-horsepower ABS Sulzer submersible pump through a cooperative pricing contract (Res. 2026:69); authorization to apply for a grant of approximately $150,000 to install new poles and lighting at Carlton Rouh Park (Res. 2026:70); treatment‑works approval application authority for the Pump Station #9 rehabilitation project (Res. 2026:71); appointment of a hearing officer (George R.

Motions to approve the ordinances and the consent agenda were moved by Council President Cheryle Randolph‑Sharpe and seconded by Councilman Jermaine Jackson, with votes recorded as indicated on the meeting minutes.
What happens next: The ordinances passed second reading and, unless otherwise stated in the bond documents, will proceed to whatever additional administrative steps are required for issuance of debt and implementation of projects. The grant application for park lighting, if awarded, would fund the specified installation.
