Port Republic City Council unanimously adopted multiple routine resolutions at its June 9 meeting, and introduced a capital ordinance to purchase new Public Works equipment.

Council also introduced Ordinance 03-2026, a capital ordinance appropriating $60,888.50 for the purchase of new Public Works equipment; the ordinance was introduced on first reading and will return for second reading and adoption at a future meeting. Ordinance 04-2026, listed for potential sale of unspecified real property under N.J.S.A. 40A:12-13(b), was postponed because the agenda did not include the block, lot or address information needed for consideration.
