# Passaic Council Meeting - September 1, 2026

The City of Passaic City Council meeting was held September 1, 2026. Procurement-related discussion centered on Resolution 37, which concerned design and construction-management services. The council was told that the earlier approval was being rescinded because the original contractor could not meet state requirements, and that a replacement approval was for a lower amount; the transcript does not identify the vendor, dollar amount, or clearly record the vote on this item. No other contract awards or purchasing approvals were clearly identifiable. The mayor also reported receiving water-safety throw rings, acquiring an underwater drone for firefighter training, and beginning work on a park concession stand, but no associated spending or procurement decisions were detailed.

Residents raised concerns about residential parking permits and parking restrictions, including proposed limits near a house of worship; the discussion did not establish a new citywide parking decision. Ordinance 2535-26, amending the designation of restricted parking for disabled persons by license plate number, passed unanimously. The council also unanimously reaffirmed the Rent Leveling Board’s decision in a landlord appeal. No specific dollar amounts or vendor names were provided for procurement activity.
