Council updates: Monmouth University recognition, Arbor Day, farmers market, Oakwood Avenue coordination
Summary
Council members highlighted community events and project updates, including Monmouth University's national recognition, an Arbor Day tree donation at BME School, the return of the weekly farmers market beginning June 26, and ongoing coordination for the Oakwood Avenue project pending DOT approvals.
Mayor Tucci told the council she received positive news from the president of Monmouth University that the university is being recognized among the nation's higher-ranking schools. Council members reported a range of local updates: Councilwoman Ruane said the Shade Tree Arbor Day celebration at BME School included a donated cherry tree; she also reminded residents about an upcoming recycling/shredding event, a fishing derby, and that the Environmental Commission farmers market will run Fridays from June 26 through October 2, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Julie Nastasi, appearing for the Borough Engineer, provided project updates: the Oakwood Avenue project is nearly through DOT approval with both towns and is likely to be advertised and awarded in June, though coordination with Long Branch must still be resolved; Valenzano Park playground equipment installation and the Sorrentino Park award were also noted. Councilman Penta expressed frustration with coordination pace on Oakwood Avenue.
