MONTCLAIR, NJ - The Montclair Township Council s May 4 meeting was expected to be long, due to controversial decisions made for the 2021 municipal budget that would attract dozens of residents to the public comment part, and it was. Concerns from councilors over items up for a vote made the meeting even longer.
Mayor Sean Spiller announced a few amendments to the 2021 budget, set at $93.8 million, and the most notable one was increasing the expenditure for the library system to $419,848, a $100,000 increase. Residents in support of a robust library budget, appalled by the original amount, had planned to call into the virtual meeting an take issue with the library line item. They did so anyway, many pleased with the last-minute increase but still dissatisfied with the size of the increase.

Montclair is about to take the next step in its long-conflicted relationship with leaf blowers. Montclair’s Town Council voted 5-2 to approve the first reading of an ordinance that would put greater restrictions on leaf blower usage. The next step is a public hearing and a final vote on the ordinance at the next council meeting on Tuesday, February 16. During the discussion at Tuesday’s council meeting, concerns were raised about the ordinance.
Montclair has had a leaf blower ordinance on the books for years, as Councilor at Large Bob Russo pointed out, but this new version would restrict gas leaf blower usage to two months in the spring and two months in the fall, and also limit hours of use.
