- Meeting Overview:
The Glen Ridge Borough Council meeting highlighted the approval of a significant purchase of 2,369 new water meters as the most consequential action taken. This step aims to modernize the water meter system for better efficiency and accuracy in the Borough. The meters will be acquired through the Morris County Cooperative Pricing Council, which provides competitive pricing due to its collective purchasing power.
In addition to the water meter purchase, the Council also adopted ordinance number 1804, which allows the municipality to exceed the budget appropriation limits and establish a cap bank for the 2024 calendar year. This ordinance is a routine part of the budgeting process.
The Council addressed the upcoming budget presentation set for May 13th, emphasizing its importance for public information. The budget and its presentation are available on the Borough’s website for residents who wish to review it in advance.
Another point of discussion was the resolution to award a contract for the maintenance of the Borough’s athletic fields to True Green of Wall, New Jersey, after a competitive bidding process yielded no proposals. The contract is aimed at ensuring the fields are well-maintained for community sports and events.
The Council also designated April 26, 2024, as Arbor Day.
Among community events, the Council mentioned the upcoming Household Hazardous Waste Day on May 4th, an opportunity for residents to safely dispose of various hazardous materials. The event is popular among residents and is part of the Borough’s environmental initiatives.
Public comments touched on concerns such as early morning garbage collection and its impact on residents’ weekend rest. The Council took note of the request to consider adjusting collection times.
