Five ordinances were unanimously passed, one of which will provide $900,000 of funding for the MRC Solar Carport Project . The solar carport will be located at the Madison Recreation Complex and could potentially provide energy for 50 - 85 homes and save the borough an estimated $88,000 a year on electric bills.

Two new ordinances were also introduced, one of which concerned a redevelopment plan regarding property the mayor called “Giralda 1”, or the office space facing Madison Ave. The ordinance will be reviewed by the planning board.

In addition, 11 resolutions were unanimously adopted. One resolution approved the 39th annual Giralda Farms run Nov. 10, while another granted Turn the Towns Teal , a national campaign aimed at spreading awareness of ovarian cancer, permission to tie teal ribbons around trees along the streets of Madison throughout September.
