- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting of the Pleasantville City Council, the most significant item discussed was the endorsement of the proposed Urban Enterprise Zones Assistance Fund project for holiday lighting throughout the city. The project, which is set to create a festive atmosphere during Christmas time, was approved with a budget of $736,694. The council also discussed various financial matters, including the introduction of the 2024 city budget and approval of a bill list that included items such as street sweeper repairs and janitorial services for the fire department.
The holiday lighting project aims to enhance the seasonal ambiance by installing lights along newly improved streets, including Anley Boulevard, Main Street, Martin Luther King Avenue, and the Old Turnpike. This initiative is designed to use Urban Enterprise Zone funds, thereby not impacting taxpayers directly. The approved amount is close to the estimated cost, with the goal of spending less if possible.
Other resolutions included the appointment of Stacy Slater as fund commissioner and Shelana Stewart as alternate commissioner to the Municipal Joint Insurance Fund, the application for a Local Efficiency Achievement Program (LEAP) implementation grant, and a Green Acres Program initiative by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
The City Council also introduced the 2024 budget for Pleasantville. In terms of expenses, the bill list revealed discussions on various city operations, including payroll, street sweepers’ parts, cleaning services for the fire department, and improvements to softball fields and other recreational facilities.
During the meeting, there was a request to table a bill for a conflict attorney, which was granted. Additionally, the council addressed a public safety matter involving training for new firefighter recruits.
