Holmdel Zoning Board Discusses Appointments and Future Projects Amid Changes in Public Notice Procedure
- Meeting Overview:
At the latest Holmdel Town Council meeting, discussions were held regarding appointments for the 2026 zoning board professionals and a shift in the procedure for public notices. Key appointments included Marty as the board attorney, Kate Keller as the board planner, and Burough Engineering as the township engineer. The board also addressed the need for consulting engineers and decided on keeping Craig’s company and Kier as special consulting engineers for specific ongoing projects. Additionally, the council announced that starting March 1, 2026, public notices would transition from newspapers to the township website, aligning with recent legal changes.
The appointments for the zoning board’s key roles were successfully concluded with unanimous support. Marty was reappointed as the board attorney, a decision that was swiftly supported by all members present. Similarly, Kate Keller retained her position as the board planner following a motion and unanimous roll call approval. Burough Engineering was chosen as the township engineer, a decision made after considering the board’s interviews and discussions. The board expressed gratitude to the outgoing engineer, Craig, for his contributions, noting the demanding nature of the board’s expectations.
In discussing the consulting engineers, the board decided to nominate two firms, Craig’s company and Kier, to handle specific projects. This dual appointment was deemed necessary to manage the workload effectively while ensuring continuity in ongoing projects. The board emphasized the need to maintain efficiency and cost-effectiveness, particularly in projects like the Eagle Hill Road development and the storage units at the chemical plant on Route 35.
A notable change was announced regarding the publication of public notices. From March 1, 2026, such notices will no longer be published in newspapers but will instead be available on the township’s website. This change complies with recent amendments to the public meeting laws.
