A winter storm forced Jersey City public schools and municipal buildings to close for two days, prompting a formal review of the city’s snow response at a Tuesday caucus meeting of the Jersey City Council.
Jersey City ordered 4,900 tons of salt from Morton Salt (Dec. 29, Jan. 19, Jan. 21) but received only 650 tons before the storm.
The city will work with corporation counsel to determine whether payments to Morton Salt can be withheld for failure to meet delivery obligations.
Jersey City placed three orders with Morton Salt totaling 4,900 tons on December 29, January 19, and January 21.
