Glassboro Mayor and Council approved a package of resolutions on Jan. 14 that included three police department appointments, multiple zoning-board appointments, authorization for a contractor to install monitoring wells on borough streets and several administrative financial items.

The actions came during the regular meeting at Borough Hall when the borough solicitor read resolutions numbered 61 through 71 and council voted to adopt them. The council approved appointments of Marcus Nasis, Edward Ruiz and Matthew J. Casas as patrol officers for the Glassboro Police Department and confirmed several Zoning Board of Adjustment appointments. The council also authorized a site-access agreement to allow Petrodi LLC and its contractor, East Coast Drilling Inc., to perform monitoring-well installation and boring activities on Liberty Street, Reading Street and William Street.

The package also included a resolution described by the solicitor as a refund related to a street-opening performance guarantee and a resolution authorizing reimbursement tied to a fourth-quarter property tax payment (details read into the record). The solicitor read all items before council moved for approval by roll call.

Council President Miller thanked public-works and highway staff earlier in the meeting, saying, "thank you to the highway department and all of the Glassboro department employees that are working in all of these elements that we're dealing with, the cold, the snow, the rain. We really appreciate it." That remark was part of the committee reports that preceded the resolutions.

The solicitor announced the resolutions and asked for a roll call vote; the mayor then called the roll and the motion carried. No public comment on the resolutions was recorded; council proceeded to other business after the vote.

The council did not provide specific funding amounts or contract prices for the site-access agreement during the meeting. The solicitor read that the site-access agreement would permit Petrodi LLC, through East Coast Drilling Inc., to perform the described monitoring-well and boring activities within the named streets; the transcript did not specify contractors' start dates or cost estimates.

The council meets next on Jan. 28, 2025, at 6 p.m. at Borough Hall.
