County commissioners approve series of resolutions, grant applications and budget insertions; announce local events
Summary
Sam County commissioners voted unanimously to approve minutes, multiple resolutions including appointments and grant applications, and budget insertions; the board also shared community event notices and scheduled a Sept. 17 meeting with a short closed session.
Sam County Board of County Commissioners approved a series of routine motions and resolutions and heard community announcements during their regular meeting, the board said.
The board approved dispensing with the formal reading of the Aug. 20 minutes, accepted correspondence and committee reports, authorized payment of audited bills and claims, and adopted multiple resolutions including an appointment and contract award. Commissioners also approved grant application submissions and budget insertions under state law. All recorded motions passed without roll-call opposition.
The actions remove procedural items from future agendas and authorize staff to proceed with administrative tasks. Among the resolutions the board adopted were an appointment to the county board of services for Gail Nazarini and an award via a national cooperative contract to National Auto Group (listed in the meeting as "091521DashNAF"). The board also authorized submission of a grant application to the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety’s Operation Helping Hands program and accepted a grant described in the meeting record as a DMH grant under a bipartisan SAFERING Communities/ Disaster Response Crisis Council county grant (listed for 2025–2026). The board adopted a resolution providing for insertion of special items in the budget pursuant to the statutory language read into the record (transcript reference: NJSA 48 and assembly chapter 159/public law noted in the meeting).
Commissioners thanked longtime volunteer Loretta Wellnelle for her years of service on the Kempton County Commission on Women and solicited nominations to fill the seat. The board heard a brief comment that county staff secure significant grant funding and that grants make up a notable portion of the county’s budget, though no specific percentage was provided.
During the announcements segment commissioners and staff listed several upcoming community events: a pre-employment fitness test for the county corrections/police recruitment (starts at 9 a.m.), Septemberfest on Sept. 6 in Pennsville, a Grandparents Day event on Sept. 7 aboard the Woodstown Central Railroad, a remembrance event organized by Habitat for Humanity and the Salem County Sheriff's Office on Sept. 11 at 416 South Pensacola Auburn Road in Kearneys Point (noted to begin at about 9 a.m.), and the Department of Health and Human Services Office on Aging and Disabilities fourth annual end-of-summer event at Fort Mott in Pennsville (noted to start at 11 a.m. and end about 2 p.m.).
The board opened public comment and announced its next regular meeting is Sept. 17 at 6 p.m., noting a very short closed session will be part of that meeting.
