Engineers update council on drinking water, sewer, recreation and road projects
Summary
Engineer Marc DeBlasio reviewed the status of multiple capital projects including NJDEP I-Bank drinking water and Third Avenue sewer improvements, 96th Street recreation improvements (Contract 2), Second Avenue reconstruction under NJDOT aid, NJDEP Green Acres 'Jake's Place', and resurfacing of 82nd Street pickleball courts.
Engineer Marc DeBlasio reported the borough's capital-work list and the status of multiple projects, citing both completed steps and active grant work. Projects listed included: NJDEP I-Bank Drinking Water and Third Avenue Sewer Improvements; 96th Street Recreation Improvements—Contract 2 (basketball court and recreation building installation); 10206 Third Avenue building improvements; FY2024 and FY2025 NJDOT Municipal Aid reconstruction of Second Avenue; NJDEP Green Acres funding for “Jake's Place”; and resurfacing of 82nd Street pickleball courts.
DeBlasio also provided an update on grant activity tied to those projects: ongoing FEMA flood mitigation grant applications, and proposed FY2026 requests including Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) and multiple NJDOT programs. He told council members that many of these funding streams operate on specific timelines the borough must meet to remain eligible.
Council members followed with questions and remarks about sequencing and the borough's ability to meet grant timelines; the work-session transcript does not record formal votes or funding approvals for the individual projects. The engineering update will be used to refine the capital-plan priorities discussed later in the session.
