# Town Meeting 11-12-26

Lacey Township’s November 12, 2026 town meeting included approval of the annual Best Practices Checklist and several resolutions with budget or service implications. The committee approved membership in the Central Jersey Health Insurance Fund, a HUD grant budget insertion (described as a reimbursement grant, with no clear dollar amount in the transcript), and interlocal agreements for school crossing guards, a county child-restraint program grant, and use of the county recycling center with revenue sharing. The committee also authorized payment of township bills. No vendor award or competitive bid approval was identified.

Members discussed proposed resolutions seeking state review of school funding and relief from rising school employee healthcare costs; the transcript does not show those proposals being formally adopted. Public comments focused on taxes and utility rates, the defeated YMCA referendum, school costs, and a rail-trail project, including concerns about tree removal and public-notice errors. Officials discussed the rail trail’s potential transportation and evacuation uses, but no new project approval was recorded. Committee members said the YMCA proposal would not be pursued further. A data-center ordinance was noted as an upcoming planning discussion.
