During the meeting, a public hearing on Ordinance 125 attracted attention due to its provision for salary and wage increases totaling nearly $220,000 from the previous year. One resident questioned the necessity of such a significant increase, expressing concerns about the impact on taxpayers, especially given the lack of substantial local businesses to offset these costs. In response, it was explained that the increases align with recently negotiated contracts extending through 2029. The ordinance was ultimately adopted by the council.

Another topic was Resolution 3525, authorizing the submission of an application for a Local Recreation Improvement Grant to the New Jersey Division of Community Affairs. The grant aims to fund renovations at Pennsylvania Avenue and Mars Park following the completion of phase one improvements at Malaga Park. A resident sought clarification on how funds would be allocated, and it was confirmed that the parks identified would benefit from the initial stages of renovation.

The council also discussed enforcement issues related to property maintenance, particularly regarding a property on Old Delsea Drive. Despite previous summonses and citations for non-compliance, the site continues to accumulate debris and trailers, creating an eyesore for the community. The council acknowledged the slow progress of enforcement actions and committed to issuing additional citations if necessary to ensure compliance.
