February 24, 2026 Meeting of the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners

The February 24, 2026 meeting of the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners included a significant focus on county facilities and infrastructure. The board honored Steve Orsini for his retirement after more than two decades of service in the Buildings and Grounds department, highlighting his leadership in mechanical and infrastructure upgrades, courthouse improvements, and pandemic-related facility safety measures. The meeting also featured the adoption of two bond ordinances: one appropriating $22 million for various public improvements and equipment acquisitions, and another allocating $4.5 million for the exterior restoration of the B County Courthouse annex. These bond ordinances were opened for public hearing, received unanimous commissioner approval, and are expected to support ongoing capital improvement projects within the county. Additionally, the board discussed administrative orders related to public safety and community trust, particularly concerning immigration enforcement policies. Several resolutions and personnel matters were approved, and the commissioners acknowledged the efforts of public works and emergency teams during recent winter storms.
