Also worth nothing that councilwomen Howse and Maurer who were not present during roll call, did come in during the reading of the resolutions.

NJHDocumenter91 @NJHDocumenter91 24/25

A bit of a different tempo during this meeting. Mostly reviewing resolutions that had already been discussed in detail and voted on. Not a lot of conversation amongst the council as a result.
