Council approved the consent agenda (resolutions 2026‑159 through 2026‑163) on a single roll‑call vote and then moved through individual resolutions and ordinances.
Resolutions approved included authorization for payment of bills (resolution 2026‑1164) and approval of change orders related to the boardwalk restroom project (2026‑1165). The council also approved a professional services contract for state police accreditation maintenance (2026‑1166); the item passed on roll call but the mayor recorded a "No" vote on that measure. A separate resolution authorizing withdrawal of a bid and allowing negotiations for towing services (2026‑1167) passed with an abstention recorded for the mayor on the roll call. The council, acting as the waterfront redevelopment entity, issued a certificate of completion to AP Block 4001 Venture Urban Renewal LLC for the Surf House project at 1150 Kingsley Street.
During the later agenda the council held the public hearing and second reading on Ordinance 2026‑7 (2026 cap rate ordinance) and Ordinance 2026‑8 (relocating the tree removal and replacement rules into a new Chapter 23 with minor changes). Both ordinances were adopted following public comment and a motion to adopt.
The meeting adjourned after votes on the minutes, resolutions and ordinances. Several items were described by the clerk as routine; council members noted that public input earlier in the evening on waterfront projects would inform later agenda items and planning board hearings.
Vote tallies were recorded on the transcript for individual roll calls; the transcript records a mayoral "No" on one contract resolution and an abstention on the towing authorization. The council did not take a vote on the waterfront redevelopment presentation this evening.
