Millville Commission approves routine business, contracts and appointments; supports parkland diversion for bridge project
Summary
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Millville City Commission approved bills and minutes, a set of resolutions awarding contracts and grants, appointments and a support letter for a Green Acres parkland diversion tied to a bridge project. A homeowners' request to install border stones was also approved.
The Millville City Commission on Feb. 4 approved routine bills and minutes, a series of professional-service and purchase contracts, grant awards and several administrative appointments and actions.
The commission voted, by roll call, to pay outstanding bills and to approve prior meeting minutes. Commissioners also approved an ordinance on first reading to remove a reserved handicapped parking space at 207 East Broad Street.
On resolutions, the commission approved: a towing-operator license for On Demand Towing and Repair LLC (01/01/2025–12/31/2026); authorization allowing homeowner Frederick A. Jacob to install border stones set in concrete on the Oriole Lane cul-de-sac island at his own expense; an opioid-education mini-grant of $19,720 to the Millville Board of Education; a supply award to Action Uniform Company LLC (not to exceed $21,000 for 02/04/2025–02/03/2026); appointment of Allen Associates as broker of record for employee benefits for one year; authorization to purchase a 2024 utility service truck from Route 23 Automall (not to exceed $154,123); a support letter for a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres minor diversion application tied to replacement of the City Hall/Main Street bridge at Patriot Park (Block 123, Lot 1); appointment of Kevin Hall as deputy emergency management coordinator to fill an unexpired term through 07/31/2025; a purchase order with Aon Consulting for GASB 75 actuarial valuation services (not to exceed $29,500 for 01/01/2025–12/31/2026); adjustments to tax and utility records; and a professional-services contract with McManamon Scotland Baumann LLC for redevelopment counsel services (06/08/2024–06/07/2025, not to exceed $50,000).
The commission also received and filed the resignation letter of Drew Scarpa from the Zoning Board of Adjustment (effective 01/24/2025) and authorized two social-affair permits for events at the Elks Lodge.
All listed resolutions carried on unanimous roll-call votes as recorded in the meeting; where the meeting recorded certification of funds, the chief financial officer, Susan Quinones, was noted as having signed availability-of-funds certifications.
Why it matters: the approvals lock in short-term contracts, grant dollars and staffing appointments that affect city services, procurement and an upcoming bridge replacement project that requires state-level parkland diversion review.
