Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The temporary budget allows West Orange to continue operating while the full 2026 budget process is completed. Several public safety and personnel matters—including agreements with the police chief and deputy chief, and the appointment of a Department of Public Works director—were tabled rather than decided. The council also approved appointments to township boards and committees and rejected bids for tree planting and EMS apparatus maintenance, directing that those matters be rebid.
