In re: Petition for Referendum of the City of Trenton
Ordinance 09-02 4-6-10
The relevant provision of the Municipal Utilities Law,
N.J.S.A. 40:62-3.1, eliminates only the mandatory
requirement of a referendum; it does not affect the
citizens’ right to contest an ordinance as provided by
the Faulkner Act. Ordinance 09-02 of the City of
Trenton, which authorizes the sale of a municipal
water utility system to a private entity, must be
submitted to the voters.
