The Long Hill Township Committee approved Resolution 26-155 on June 4 authorizing Garden State Fireworks, Inc. to conduct a fireworks display for the Long Hill Baseball/Softball Association (LHBSA) on June 6, 2026, at Poplar Drive Baseball Fields between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. Committeeman Liberato moved to approve the resolution and Mayor Piserchia seconded; a roll call vote recorded four yes votes and one absence, approving the measure.
Clerk Phillips opened the meeting with a reading of the Statement of Presiding Officer, noting the meeting complied with the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act and that the agenda and handouts were posted online. The resolution itself states that, "upon the advice of the Township Fire Official," municipal review found submitted documents in order, required permits have been approved, and the municipal fee for the firework permit has been waived.
The committee voted as follows: Committeewoman Fettes—yes; Committeeman Liberato—yes; Committeeman Verlezza—absent; Deputy Mayor Dorsi—yes; Mayor Piserchia—yes. The resolution (26-155) specifies Garden State Fireworks, Inc., of Millington, as the contractor and Poplar Drive Baseball Fields as the venue. The resolution also records the waived municipal fee and the specified display window of 9:00–9:30 p.m. on June 6, 2026.
Clerk Phillips opened the scheduled public comment period (three minutes per speaker) and, finding no participants on the public call, closed public comment without remarks. The committee then adjourned on a motion by Deputy Mayor Dorsi and seconded by Committeewoman Fettes; the minutes record an adjournment time of 10:08 a.m. that conflicts with the stated 10:30 a.m. call to order, indicating a timestamp error in the recorded minutes.
No additional discussion, conditions, or contingency instructions appear in the minutes; the resolution text indicates required permits were approved by the Fire Official and the municipal fee was waived. The committee did not receive or record any public objections during the meeting.
