Meeting Notice: Borough Council Meetings will be held remotely via Zoom

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on in-person public gatherings by executive orders of the Governor of New Jersey, meetings of the Washington Borough Council will be held remotely via Zoom.  The Zoom platform allows for members of the public to participate via computer, mobile device, or telephone.  Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:39-1.5(g):  Both adequate and electronic notice of how to access this electronic meeting has been provided by posting such notice on the door of the municipal building and posting such notice on the municipal’s Facebook page.  Such notice specified the time of this meeting and provided instructions on how to access the meeting remotely. 


The following is an explanation of the procedures and requirements for making public comment as required by N.J.A.C. 5:391.4(h).  

Please keep yourself muted until the meeting moderator requests that you unmute yourself.  The Borough reserves the right to mute or remove disruptive meeting participants after an initial warning.  Disruptive conduct includes sustained inappropriate behaviors such as, but not necessarily limited to, shouting, interruption, and use of profanity. 

Comments will be accepted in writing.  Written comments must be no more than 450 words and must include your name and address.  Such comments will be read into the record at the appropriate time.  However, please be advised that the Borough reserves the right to summarize duplicative comments consistent with N.J.A.C. 5:391.4(f).   Comments can be emailed by 3:00 p.m. the day of the meeting to: lbarton@washingtonboro-nj.org.   Written comments may also be submitted via mail or dropped off at the municipal building by such day and time.
