Pennsauken Township’s Committee on June 19 read the 2025 municipal budget and the 2025 solid‑waste collection district budget by title and approved those readings, and approved a consent agenda that included equipment purchases, grants and liquor‑license renewals.

Why it matters: Reading the municipal and district budgets by title is a procedural step that advances budget adoption. The consent agenda bundled multiple contracts, grants and administrative items that the committee approved by roll call.

Budget readings and votes

The committee considered Resolution 2025‑170 to read the 2025 municipal budget by title only; members moved, seconded and voted “Aye” during a roll call. The committee then read and approved the 2025 solid‑waste collection district budget by title.

Consent agenda highlights

The committee approved a consent agenda of routine and administrative resolutions including, among others: purchase of body‑worn cameras and police equipment through state cooperative contracts; a contract for audio‑visual installation at the new public library; an award for high‑density storage for the new library; professional‑service engineering work related to a Jordan Town Green Acres environmental project; and two Affordable Housing Trust Fund grants for properties on Sixth and Seventh streets. The clerk read the list of liquor‑license renewals and other standard renewals and the committee approved them by consent.

Votes and procedural notes

Committee members recorded roll calls for the budget readings and the consent agenda; the transcript records unanimous “Yes” votes on the items presented. The meeting included routine motions to open and close public comment on the budget reading; no members of the public spoke on the budget during the hearing.

Ending

The committee authorized staff to proceed with the contracts and grants approved on consent and moved the budgets forward; no substantive amendments to the budget or the consent items were made during the meeting.
