The crux of the meeting revolved around the urgent approval of two resolutions. The first, to authorize the emergency meeting, required 75% approval of the municipal governing body. There was some confusion, due to a discrepancy in the wording of the ordinance, whether this meant 75% of the entire council or just of those present. Councilwoman Cynthia Holland raised this question, which was then clarified, indicating that only three affirmative votes were necessary.

Councilwoman Holland recused herself from voting on both resolutions, stating she was present but would not be voting on either item. Despite her recusal, the resolution to authorize the emergency meeting was successfully passed with the remaining members, Councilman Alex Roman, Deputy Mayor Jack McEvoy, and Mayor Christopher Tamburro, all voting in affirmation.

The second resolution, which was to award a contract to Crossroads Paving for the reconstruction of Boston and Whitney Terrace, was also passed. Mayor Tamburro stressed the importance of awarding the contract promptly to secure about $300,000 in emergency funding. Once again, all present council members voted affirmatively, ensuring the township would not lose the grant.
