Bloomfield’s Township Council meets on Monday Night in a Conference Meeting in Room 205 of the Law Enforcement Building. 

Per an announcement by Mayor Raymond McCarthy, the meeting will have an early 6:30 p.m. start with the council going into closed session to discuss shared services for Health Insurance and then opening up to the public immediately afterward.

Officials are expected to discuss the contract for repairs to the library elevator, which township residents have spoken about in several recent Council meetings.
