Summary
The council approved its consent agenda on Dec. 9, awarding a $19,248 contract for the municipal building roof to Journey Contracting Company, accepted an NJDOT FY2020 Municipal Aid award of $135,000 for Passaic Avenue, and approved budget transfers totaling $7,275.
The Ogdensburg Borough Council on Dec. 9 approved a consent agenda that included multiple resolutions and filings, most notably Resolution 97-2019 awarding a municipal building roof replacement contract and acceptance of an NJDOT municipal aid letter for $135,000 toward Passaic Avenue improvements.
Resolution 97-2019: According to the minutes, three bids were received for the municipal building roof replacement; Journey Contracting Company, Inc. submitted the lowest bid of $19,248. The borough engineer reviewed the proposal and the chief financial officer certified that sufficient funds were available. The council authorized the mayor and borough clerk to execute the contract.
Resolution 95-2019 authorizes temporary additional hours for the borough tax collector to be paid at $35 per hour to cover an unexpected personnel shortage. Resolution 98-2019 adopts the 2020 holiday schedule. Resolution 99-2019 approves transfers of appropriations within the 2019 municipal budget, listing line-item movements totaling $7,275.
The consent agenda passed by roll call: Yeas — Alvarez, Nardini, Nasisi, O’Dell, Slater; Abstain — Cruz; Nays — none.
Why it matters: The contract and grant acceptance authorize immediate steps toward replacing the municipal roof and preserving roadway infrastructure on Passaic Avenue. The budget transfers adjust 2019 appropriations to cover departmental needs.
What to watch: Implementation steps include executing the contract with Journey Contracting and a preconstruction meeting noted by borough staff; engineering oversight and certification of funds were referenced in the minutes.
