Millville Commission to weigh $10.7M in bond ordinances; Planning Board postpones redevelopment

Millville's City Commission is set to consider more than $10.7 million in bond ordinances for capital improvements and utility upgrades, with first readings scheduled for the August 18 regular meeting. The agenda also includes a digital sign ordinance and equipment purchases. Meanwhile, the Planning Board's August 10 meeting postponed two redevelopment applications to September. Minutes for all three recent meetings have not yet been published, so no final votes are confirmed.

Bond ordinances

The August 18 Commission agenda includes first readings of three bond ordinances:

• $4,455,000 for capital improvements, with $4,232,250 in bonds to be issued.
• $2,600,000 for municipal water utility improvements.
• $3,400,000 for municipal sewer utility improvements.

The same items were discussed at an August 14 work session, where public comment was limited to agenda items. The Commission also had a resolution authorizing the purchase of a jet vactor truck and a street sweeper.

Other Commission business

The August 18 agenda also included an ordinance to permit digital message board signs under limited circumstances, along with EMS billing changes, a salary ordinance amendment, and resolutions covering tax adjustments, a change order for the WWTP clarifier, and redevelopment agreement amendments.

Planning Board

At its August 10 meeting, the Planning Board's agenda included two redevelopment applications by PD Millville Redeveloper, II, LLC and PD Millville Redeveloper, both of which were adjourned to September 14, 2026. The board also reviewed a subdivision application from Delby Properties, LLC, and a resolution for My Great Space. The meeting included an executive session on threatened or pending litigation.

Coming up

The City Commission will hold a special meeting on August 25 at 12 S High Street. The agenda calls for a resolution to authorize a closed session to discuss pending litigation between 10 Buck Street Eats LLC and the City of Millville, along with roll call, public comment, and adjournment.

Millville Commission weighs $1.15M bond for street-cleaning equipment

The Millville City Commission met twice in the past two weeks, with a $1.15 million bond ordinance for new street-cleaning equipment the most significant item on the agenda. No minutes have been published for either meeting, so the outcomes of any votes are not yet known.

City Commission (July 31)

The commission discussed several ordinances and resolutions, including:

• A bond ordinance for $1,150,000 to purchase a jet vactor truck and street sweeper.
• An amendment to permit digital message board signs under limited circumstances.
• An amendment to the shade tree portion of the municipal code.
• A resolution authorizing a short-term construction loan from the New Jersey I-Bank.
• A public hearing for the Millville Pump Station.

City Commission (Aug. 4)

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days.

Millville boards eyed $1.15M equipment bond, development applications, and parking changes in recent meetings

Millville's recent government meetings centered on a proposed $1,150,000 bond for new street maintenance equipment, multiple development applications, and changes to local parking rules. However, minutes have not yet been published for any of the three meetings held over the past two weeks, so final outcomes — including whether ordinances passed or applications were approved — are not yet confirmed in the public record.

City Commission: $1.15M bond for jet vactor truck and street sweeper

The City Commission took up the proposed bond at both its July 17 work session and its July 21 regular meeting. The bond ordinance would appropriate $1,150,000 and authorize issuance of up to $1,150,000 in general obligation bonds to purchase a jet vactor truck and a street sweeper. Those vehicles are used for storm sewer cleaning and street cleaning.

Also on the July 17 agenda was an ordinance amending Chapter 39 of the Municipal Code to add handicapped parking at 323 South 3rd Street, and an ordinance approving an application for a coin drop benefiting Lawrence Township EMS.

Resolutions on the July 17 agenda included one authorizing tax and utility adjustments and another authorizing a grant application to the NJ Department of Transportation for the LAIF-2027 Broad Street Reconstruction and Traffic Signal Improvements project.

City Commission July 21: public hearings and digital signs

The July 21 meeting included public hearings on two items: the ordinance to add handicapped parking at 323 South 3rd Street, and an amendment to the Salary Ordinance.

The commission was also scheduled to discuss a proposed amendment that would permit digital message board signs under limited circumstances, as well as the grant application for Broad Street Reconstruction and Traffic Signal Improvements.

Because minutes are not yet available, it is not known which items were adopted, tabled, or continued.

Planning Board: three development applications

The Millville Planning Board met July 13 with three development applications on its agenda:

• Application #10–2026PB — "My Great Space"
• Application #06–2026PB — PD Millville Redeveloper, II, LLC
• Application #07–2026PB — PD Millville Redeveloper

The board was also scheduled to consider Resolution #10–2026PB, submitted by Charlotte Lacivita, and to review minutes from its May 11, 2026 meeting.

No minutes have been published from the July 13 meeting, so the status of each application and the resolution is not yet confirmed.

What this means for residents

The proposed $1,150,000 bond, if adopted, would be funded through general obligation bonds — debt backed by the city. The jet vactor truck and street sweeper affect routine maintenance of streets and storm drains. The Broad Street project, if the grant is awarded, would involve reconstruction and traffic signal work along that corridor. The handicapped parking ordinance, if adopted, would change parking at 323 South 3rd Street.

Residents should check the city's published minutes once available to see what was actually decided.

Coming up

No public meetings are listed on the town calendar for the next 14 days. Residents can watch for newly posted agendas and minutes on the city's official website.
