Summary

Council introduced Ordinance 12-88-26, a first reading to amend sewer-service charges (to reflect Bergen County Utilities Authority cost changes); the ordinance will be considered for final passage at the February meeting.

Council held the first reading of Ordinance 12‑88‑26 to amend Chapter 198 (sanitary sewers) and clarify provisions related to sewer-service charges. Council members explained sewer charges are separate from property taxes and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in outside agency fees; the BCUA increase was cited as a driver for the update. The ordinance was introduced on first reading and scheduled for a final public hearing and vote at the February meeting.

Council said the sewer budget is handled in a separate fund and that adjustments ensure revenues align with wastewater-service costs; the public will have an opportunity to be heard at the February final hearing. "This is due to the BCUA charges going up," a council member said.
