Bound Brook council approves $1,995,000.79 in vouchers; member questions water-billing entries
Summary
The council approved Resolution 26405 to pay $1,995,000.79 in vouchers. During discussion a council member raised concerns about multiple New Jersey American Water account entries and an apparent $11,000–$14,000 charge tied to a pool address.
The Chair presented Resolution 26405, approving vouchers totaling $1,995,000.79, and the council moved and seconded the measure.
A council member raised a question about utility billing clarity: "New Jersey American Water has, like, a $11,000 to $14,000 entry for a pool at 200th 1st Place," noting that multiple accounts and service addresses (examples given in the transcript include Grove and Park addresses) made reconciliation difficult. The member said this created confusion that the borough's finance staff should address.
The Chair then called roll on the vouchers resolution. The transcript records affirmative votes from Council President Lopez, Councilwoman Fultz, Councilman Garrett, Councilman Rockey and Councilman Speedy. The motion to approve the vouchers was recorded as passing in the excerpt; the transcript does not show any 'no' or abstain votes in the captured lines.
