After a public show of opposition, the council agreed to make changes.
The Livingston Township Council agreed to put off their votes on the controversial Burglar/Fire Alarm Monitoring Systems ordinance and the Mayhew Drive Parking Prohibition ordinance until a later meeting.

The former Mayors were given a "Key to the City."
Even though Tuesday’s reorganization meeting was built around new councilmen being sworn in and the selection of a deputy mayor, Livingston Mayor Rudy Fernandez still took time to honor those who served before them. Former Mayors Stephen Santola and Gary Schneiderman were honored on Tuesday for their service to Livingston. Both were presented with multiple gifts including photos of their first swearing in, in 1999, fleeces, a gavel and calendars marking their Mondays free. However, most symbolically, the two were given plaques with "keys to the city." "The Livingston Township Council is proud to honor Steve and Gary, as they conclude 12 years of service to our community as a councilmember, with Steve concluding three terms as mayor and …
