The most notable event at the meeting was the acknowledgment of Scout Troop 55. The Scouts were praised for their exemplary community service, particularly their efforts in aiding senior citizens with snow removal. Since the winter of 2022, under the leadership of Gabriel Kirk and Corbin Wonderlick, the troop formed teams to help keep sidewalks and driveways clear for those unable to do so themselves. The Mayor and Borough Council expressed their gratitude and presented a proclamation to the Scouts, acknowledging their valuable contribution to the community.

In financial matters, the Council discussed resolution number 67-250, which pertained to school taxes. The resolution was moved and approved unanimously. Additionally, resolution number 68-25 was passed, reappointing Michael Zichelli as Deputy Municipal Clerk in accordance with New Jersey state law.

The council also approved a raffle application for the Manto-Manette Gro McKenna Angel Foundation, scheduled for May 4th at the Country Club. This application was resolved with full council support.

A report on the ongoing water meter replacement project revealed that installations have been completed at about 25% of households, with another 25% scheduled. Residents were reminded to schedule appointments for the remaining installations.

The Council announced a public hearing on a new historic preservation ordinance set for October 18th. This ordinance aims to align with federal standards and streamline the application process for minor projects.
