The Cape May County Bridge Commission on May 29 reappointed Carol Brand as chairman, Scott Halliday as vice chairman and Maryanne K.

The actions took place at the commission's regular meeting in the County Administration Building in Cape May Court House.

The appointments and other consent items were approved by motion. Maryanne K. Murphy moved to approve the April 17, 2025 minutes and later moved the motion to close the public comment period and approve Resolutions 25-3782 through 25-3789; both motions were seconded by Scott Halliday and were recorded as unanimously approved. Commissioners present and recorded as voting "yes" were Carol Brand, Scott Halliday and Maryanne K. Murphy.

The consent resolutions included appointment of the officers for one-year terms (Resolution 25-3782); authorization for the chairman to sign the officer's certificate (25-3783); certification of monthly deposits in the revenue account for April 2025 in the amount of $170,229.10 (25-3784); a ceiling amount for payment of health benefits and payroll between meetings (25-3785); adoption of a one-year Cash Management Plan (25-3786); designation of official newspapers for legal advertisements (25-3787); establishment of mileage and per diem rates for commission business (25-3788); and establishment of annual salaries for various employees (25-3789).
