Robbinsville council adopts capital and sewer bond ordinances, approves pedestrian beacons and hires administrative assistant
Summary
Council adopted bond ordinances for $1.7 million in capital improvements and $2.575 million for sewer repairs, approved a Safe for Walkers grant contract for rapid‑flashing beacons, and appointed an administrative assistant (appointment passed with one no vote).
The council adopted two bond ordinances after public hearings. The first provides for capital improvements, appropriating $1,699,515 and authorizing the issuance of $1,614,538 in general improvement bonds or notes to finance the work; the ordinance was adopted on roll call with all members voting in favor.
A second ordinance to fund township sewer‑collection system improvements appropriated $2,575,000 and authorized $2,000,570 in sewer utility bonds or notes. A resident asked whether the measure would raise sewer usage fees; the administration clarified the appropriation is for infrastructure repairs within Robbinsville, that Robbinsville owns the pipes and pump stations, and that Hamilton performs treatment and certain maintenance under shared‑service arrangements. Council adopted the sewer ordinance on roll call.
Separately, the council approved resolutions a through j that included authorizing a contract for rectangular rapid‑flashing beacons paid for through a Safe for Walkers grant to add pedestrian‑safety devices at multiple intersections. The council also approved resolution k to appoint an administrative assistant, Elizabeth Johnson Ray; that appointment passed after council discussion with one council member voting no due to a disclosed conflict.
