Board holds approval of Colliers Engineering invoices pending bills and documentation
Summary
Board members declined to approve professional-service invoices tied to applications the board has not yet heard, and placed the Colliers Engineering invoice(s) on hold pending review of the bills showing work performed and escrow accounting.
The Pompton Lakes Planning Board paused action on professional bills, including invoices from Colliers Engineering and Design, saying members had not seen documentation describing work performed on applications that have not yet been before the board.
Board members identified a specific invoice number presented in the meeting (2500366) and said the bills relate to work on properties on Hamburg Turnpike. Members expressed concern about approving payments for work they had not seen; staff clarified the engineering invoices typically draw from applicant escrow accounts. The board said past practice had been for the board chairman to review and approve such invoices, and members asked for a clearer procedure going forward.
The board’s practical direction was to hold approval until members can review the invoice detail and supporting documentation; no formal payment vote was recorded. The minutes for February 18 were approved by roll call earlier in the meeting.
