Hoboken City Council Meeting Tonight July 20 - 7PM

Update 7/21: Removed live feed for website performance. Meeting concluded with elections moving to November with the usual 5-4 vote.

The last City Council meeting was a special meeting to properly amend the budget to have a surplus and give back a decent but responsible tax cut to the Hoboken homeowner. Tonight's City Council meeting is a follow up to the the July 1st meeting that had many items on the agenda, in particular the following ordinances for first reading that are now coming up for second reading and perhaps final vote.

A listing of the major meeting items is below the live stream and comments section.

  • Moving Municipal Elections to November
  • Establishing Parking Fees at Municipal Garages (Russo/Castellano)
  • Two ordinances on Political Contribution Limits.
