Summary
Ordinance 2026-14 authorizes acquisition of Block 58, Lot 1 (63 Burton Ave) from South River Little League for nominal consideration ($1) to preserve the site for park, recreational and athletic uses; closing conditions include marketable title and resolving an open electric balance.
The Borough introduced Ordinance 2026-14 to authorize acquisition of Block 58, Lot 1 (commonly known as 63 Burton Ave) from South River Little League for nominal consideration of One Dollar ($1.00). The ordinance states the parcel was originally conveyed to the Little League in 1965 with reverter language to ensure continued recreational use and that acquisition would allow the borough to preserve the property for public park and athletic purposes.
The ordinance lists closing conditions including evidence that the Little League has authorized conveyance, confirmation of marketable title (or acceptable title), and disposition of any outstanding utility or municipal charges; the tax search referenced an open electric balance that must be addressed prior to closing. The ordinance was introduced on first reading and scheduled for second reading and final passage on June 8, 2026.
