The Ogdensburg Mayor and Council on April 13 introduced the municipal budget for calendar year 2026 and an ordinance to exceed the municipal budget appropriation limit and establish a cap bank.
By voice vote, the council introduced Ordinance 03-2026 — titled 'Calendar Year 2026 Ordinance to Exceed the Municipal Budget Appropriation Limits and to Establish a Cap Bank (N.J.S.A. 40A:4-45.14)' — with a public hearing set for April 27, 2026.
