Ordinance 1493, which proposes amendments to the local Uniform Construction Code, was passed on its first reading. This ordinance aims to waive construction fees for modifications within homes that enhance accessibility for disabled persons. Council members expressed support for the measure, emphasizing the importance of making homes more accessible for all residents.

In infrastructure developments, the council approved a resolution to submit a grant application to the New Jersey Department of Transportation for the reconstruction of Denver Avenue. This project is part of a broader municipal aid program and is intended to improve local transportation infrastructure.

Additionally, the council moved forward with authorizing the issuance of bond anticipation notes not exceeding $16.6 million to fund various municipal projects. These notes are a critical part of the borough’s financial strategy to support ongoing and future capital improvements.

Furthermore, the council agreed to enter into an agreement with Blue Voice, Inc. for public safety software.

In other business, the council discussed upcoming projects, including the Crest Fishing Pier reconstruction. These initiatives reflect the borough’s continued focus on enhancing public spaces and infrastructure.
