Township Introduces Ordinance for Splash Pad Project Change Order and Retainage
The Township Committee introduced Ordinance 28-2026, which authorizes process changes for change orders and the release of retainage for the B Meadow swimming pool splash pad project. The ordinance allows for an amount not to exceed $85,000 to be paid to AB Contracting LLC for additional construction services. This sum is to be appropriated from the swimming pool enterprise fund capital account. The public hearing for this ordinance is scheduled for July 11th, 2026. Councilmember explained that the amount represents a worst-case scenario and negotiations are ongoing to potentially reduce it. Issues encountered during construction were unforeseen, including significant electrical system problems.
Residents Voice Loud Concerns Over Morristown Airport Noise and Safety
Residents expressed significant concerns about noise and safety issues stemming from airport operations, particularly from prop planes and flight schools operating out of Morristown Airport. Complaints included early morning noise disturbances (as early as 4:30 AM), constant circling, loud engines, and low-flying aircraft over residential areas and schools. Residents cited a voluntary noise abatement policy that they believe is not being followed or enforced, leading to a decline in quality of life and safety concerns. The township committee acknowledged these concerns, with a liaison to the airport explaining the limitations of local control over FAA regulations and airport hours, while also promising to investigate specific incidents and work with airport management. The discussion highlighted a need for better communication and enforcement of existing policies.
