- Meeting Overview:
In a move to maintain financial flexibility, the Glassboro Borough Council approved Ordinance number 24-6, an ordinance to exceed the municipal budget appropriation limits and to establish a cap bank as per New Jersey state law. This ordinance allows the borough to bank unused budget capacity for potential use in future years without violating state-mandated spending limits. The council unanimously approved the ordinance during the public hearing segment of the meeting, with no objections from the public.
The council also discussed plans for the upcoming budget, with the introduction scheduled for March 26th and adoption aimed for April 23rd. Acknowledgment was given to the borough’s financial committee, administrator, and chief financial officer for their diligence in preparing the budget.
In other council actions, authorization was granted to go out to bid for water treatment chemicals and approval was given for the Community Day event, set to occur on June 8th, 2024. Additionally, the council moved to approve various appointments and reassignments within the Glassboro Historic Preservation Commission and awarded a contract for co-hosting a cornhole tournament in the borough.
The meeting included updates on ongoing development projects in the borough, such as the Camot projects and High Street Estates. Furthermore, the meeting revealed the ongoing replacement of lead-based piping and service lines, an essential infrastructure upgrade ensuring safer water for residents and businesses.
A public comment raised concerns about the new Glassboro library, including its size, accessibility, parking, and the reduced availability of books for browsing. No immediate action was taken by the council regarding these concerns.
