Camden County officials announced the introduction of the county's 2025 budget and a bond ordinance for capital work at Camden County College and scheduled a public hearing for 12 p.m. on May 15, 2025, at the Camden County Courthouse, 520 Market Street, sixth-floor meeting room in Camden.

Director Cappelli said the agenda will include a resolution authorizing the budget to be read in title only pursuant to NJSA 40 a colon 8, 4 dash 8, a resolution to exceed county budget appropriation limits and to establish a cap bank for calendar year 2025, and the 2025 Camden County budget as introduced. He also read a bond ordinance appropriating $3,336,653 and providing for the issuance of bonds or notes to finance improvements at Camden County College.

The public hearing date and location were announced during the commissioners' meeting; no final adoption vote on the introduced budget or bond ordinance is recorded in the transcript provided. The meeting proceeded to take up other resolutions and later moved to closed session for personnel matters.

The announcement follows standard county practice of introducing a budget and scheduling a separate public hearing for comment and final action. The transcript does not record additional detail on specific line items in the proposed 2025 budget or final adoption at this meeting.
