At the Aug. 14 meeting the township committee approved multiple resolutions on the consent agenda after a roll-call vote and advanced an ordinance on first reading addressing vehicles and traffic in several locations.

Why it matters: the consent agenda included operational and financial items that affect township services: a shared-service agreement with a neighboring entity, a person-to-person transfer of a plenary retail consumption liquor license to DC Beverage LLC, authorization to apply for the Camden County Recreation Facility Enhancement Grant (round 25), contract amendments for the Tippen Pond renewal project, award of a contract for the purchase of an ambulance for the municipal EMS department, and resolutions authorizing refunds related to tax appeals and overpayments. The committee also approved a resolution extending the grace period for third-quarter 2025 tax payments.

Votes and procedure: the committee tabled Ordinance 2025-16 on second reading on a motion; Ordinance 2025-17 (vehicles and traffic updates, first reading) passed on first reading by roll call. A motion approved the consent agenda by roll call; members recorded "yes" votes during the roll calls recorded in the minutes. The meeting also approved payment of July 2025 bills, which the clerk read as approximately $1,000,000 and $114,039.35 (as recorded during the meeting). No contested roll-call votes or recorded no votes were announced on the consent items during the meeting.

Items of note on the consent list included:
- Resolution 2025-252: authorize a shared-service agreement with Pennsauken (as read at the meeting).
- Resolution 2025-266: approve the person-to-person transfer of plenary retail consumption liquor license 0427-33-010-004 from Bridal Court to DC Beverage LLC.
- Resolution 2025-267: authorize submission of an application for the Camden County Recreation Facility Enhancement Grant (Round 25) and execution of the grant if awarded.

- Resolution 2025-272: reject all bids for consultant pool improvements.
- Multiple resolutions approving tax refunds and cancellations related to state tax appeals and veteran exemptions.

The committee did not take new policy votes on ordinances beyond the first reading or adopt substantive changes to the traffic code at the meeting; several items were tabled for future consideration. Staff were directed to proceed with contracts and grant applications as authorized by the approved resolutions.
