[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township of Boonton 2-23-1998
by Ord. No. 566. Amendments noted where applicable.]
There is hereby authorized a consent agenda for inclusion as part of
the agenda of every regularly scheduled meeting of the Township Committee.
Those items on the Township Committee agenda which are considered routine
by the Township Committee shall be marked with an asterisk(*). Prior to voting
upon any item on the consent agenda, the Mayor will open the meeting to the
public and Township Committee to receive requests for removal from the consent
agenda. There will be no separate discussion of items on the consent agenda
unless a Township Committee member or citizen so requests, in which event
the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered in its normal
sequence on the agenda.
Items to be included in the consent agenda may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
A.
Approval of minutes.
B.
Leases and agreements previously approved in principal.
C.
Routine reports of receipt and award of bids.
D.
Bingo and raffle applications.
E.
Refund of tax payments of less than $2,500 for the year
in question.
F.
Cancellation of tax sale certificates.
G.
Honorary and memorial resolutions when the individual
or members of the family are not present at the Township Committee meeting.
H.
Resolutions for permits to hold parades, sidewalk sales,
solicitations and other similar matters.
I.
Payment of outside attorney fees in accordance with N.J.S.A.
40A:14-155.
J.
Placing of liens on property for demolition thereof or
removal of a health or safety hazard.
K.
Developer's agreements, including extensions and
addendums.
L.
Other routine matters not requiring further discussion.
Those items which appear on the consent agenda are not required to be
read at the public meeting in their entirety but may be read by description
only. Provided that no objection is received prior to moving on the consent
agenda, once a matter is placed on the consent agenda there will be no separate
discussion for that item. Those items so approved under the consent agenda
will appear in the Township Committee minutes in their complete and proper
form.
All items on the consent agenda shall be listed separately on the agenda
but shall be approved by one motion and one vote at the time of consideration
of the consent agenda as a whole by the Township Committee.
