Camden County commissioners approve block of 93 resolutions; one measure fails and a nepotism item is tabled
Summary
The Board of Commissioners voted by unanimous consent to approve resolutions 1 through 93 with several specified abstentions; resolution 94 did not pass at this time and the nepotism portion of a personnel policy resolution was tabled earlier in the meeting.
At a public meeting, the Camden County Board of Commissioners voted to approve resolutions 1 through 93 by unanimous consent in a block roll-call vote. Commissioners recorded several abstentions on individual items and noted one resolution did not pass.
During the roll call, Commissioner Dyer voted "yes to all." Commissioner Cooley Fleisher voted "yes" but asked to abstain on resolutions 4 and 10. Commissioner Nash and Commissioner Beveridge recorded "yes" votes for the block. Deputy Director McDonald indicated "yes to all." Director Cappelli voted "yes" but announced abstentions on resolutions 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 19, 32, and 44. The full roll call followed the board's caucus review of the items.
Chairing the meeting, the director announced that resolution number 94 "does not pass at this time." The meeting record shows the board opened public comment on several of the resolutions earlier in the meeting and then returned to vote.
Separately, the board previously moved to table the nepotism portion of a personnel policy resolution (identified in public comment as part of resolution 78); other parts of that resolution related to disability policy and donated sick leave remained in place, the chair said.
Motion and procedural details: a commissioner moved to approve resolutions 1'93 as a block and a second was given; the board proceeded with a roll-call vote. No separate formal debate of individual resolutions appeared on the record during the meeting; the board indicated those items had been discussed at caucus prior to the public meeting.
No specific county budgetary amounts tied to individual resolutions were read into the public roll call at the time of the vote. The meeting record shows a subsequent public hearing and several public speakers who referenced specific resolutions (for example, support for a county resolution backing the New Jersey Green Amendment), and the board acknowledged public comments before voting on the block.
