Milltown Borough Council Meeting - 9/28/2026

The Milltown Borough Council meeting on September 28, 2026, approved Resolution 2026-252 authorizing approximately $2,578,277.38 in municipal payments, with purchase order 01880 for the Milltown Board of Education removed from the bill list pending clarification; payment on that item was deferred until a later meeting. Council also approved Resolution 2026-254, which authorizes preparing and issuing proposals; the transcript does not identify the proposals’ subject or a submission deadline. Borough updates covered sidewalk and curbing work, upcoming storm-drainage work, and the lead service line project. The energy-storage project was expected to be ready for energization by mid-October, according to the update, but its schedule and costs prompted debate. A council member cited a planned monthly readiness payment of more than $41,000, borough debt exceeding $30 million, and annual debt service of $1.3 million; no action on the battery project was recorded.

During public comment, a resident raised concerns about sediment and stormwater from the New Jersey Turnpike maintenance area, and borough staff agreed to check nearby storm basins. The council also discussed the cancellation of Milltown Day and thanked its sponsors and organizers. No other procurement decisions or spending votes were clearly identified.
