A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing resolutions related to redevelopment and planning. Resolution R24-1882 authorized the borough land use board to investigate the potential for a property to be designated as a redevelopment area. This is a step in potentially transforming underutilized or deteriorating areas into productive community spaces. Additionally, Resolution R24-1883 approved a non-fair and open contract for planning services for the Captain’s Cove Redevelopment study.

Infrastructure improvements were also highlighted during the meeting. The council discussed upcoming projects, including the paving of local roads and a drainage project on Portland Road. There was an emphasis on shared services with nearby municipalities, such as discussions with Sea Bright for potential collaborations, which could enhance efficiency and resource utilization.

An administrator’s report provided updates on various initiatives, including the borough’s successful compliance with state best practices requirements, which ensures continued receipt of state aid. The report also noted the borough’s progress toward becoming a film-ready town, which could attract new business and cultural opportunities.

Public participation included concerns from a resident about ongoing issues with a steep slope and right-of-way adjacent to their property. The resident expressed frustration with the lack of enforcement and resolution, highlighting a long-standing environmental issue that affects their property.
