The cap-bank ordinance gives the borough additional flexibility in setting future spending while remaining within state budget and tax-levy rules; it does not itself set the annual municipal budget. The council supported pursuing outside funding for playground equipment at Willow Field, with the project estimated to cost $259,000. A separate ordinance addressing affordable-housing obligations at 430–460 Montclair Avenue was tabled pending Planning Board review.
