Votes at a glance: Millville commission approves routine ordinances and resolutions; farmers market, CDBG hearing scheduled

The Millville City Commission ran through and approved a series of ordinances and resolutions during its regular meeting, voting on both second- and first-reading items as well as routine administrative resolutions.

Key actions taken on the consent/regular portion of the agenda included:
- Ordinance (second reading) approving an application for a coin-drop fundraiser for the Millville Girls Softball League (June 20–21) — approved by roll call.
- Ordinance (second reading) revising sewer surcharge concentration limits, industrial wastewater surcharge calculations, and eliminating trading credits — approved by roll call.
- Ordinance (first reading) to exceed municipal budget appropriation limits and establish a cap bank (increasing the allowed cap from 2% to 3.5% as an option, not a commitment) — read for first reading; commissioners explained the measure gives the city the option to increase the cap but does not automatically raise taxes.
- Resolutions authorizing routine tax and utility adjustments, tax-collector add-back deductions, a disabled-veteran property-tax exemption under NJSA 54:4-3.3, appointment of a temporary purchasing agent under NJSA 40:11-9, and designation of the clerk as public agency compliance officer — all approved by roll call.
- Resolution discharging a mortgage for 1121 Robin Terrace after payoff of a CDBG-related grant — approved.
- Interlocal shared-services agreement for household hazardous waste and shredding collection days (events on June 6 and Sept. 12) — approved.
- Special-event application approval for 'Hope Day Compassion' on June 6 (noon–3 p.m.) — approved.
- Approval of the Buck Park farmers market to run Thursdays from June 4 through Oct. 29, 2026 — approved after description of vendor recruitment and outreach.

Staff also announced that the 2026 CDBG annual action plan first draft is available for 30 days; a public hearing on the draft will be held June 3 at 4 p.m. in City Hall Chambers.

Most motions were routine and passed on roll call with unanimous or majority support as recorded in the meeting minutes. Where ordinances were read for first reading, the vote recorded reflects only the motion to introduce and schedule; final adoption will require a subsequent reading where applicable.
