Camden County commissioners introduce dozens of resolutions, hold open-space bond hearing with no speakers and enter closed session on personnel

At a meeting of the Camden County Board of Commissioners, officials presented and summarized more than 70 resolutions covering county financing, capital projects, contracts and personnel actions. Commissioners held a public hearing on open-space financing and an amended bond ordinance, received no public comments, closed the hearing and later adopted a resolution to enter closed session to discuss personnel. Commissioner Nash asked that one appointment item to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission (item 33) be pulled for later consideration.

The public hearing covered two county resolutions and a bond-ordinance amendment tied to open-space financing. The board announced its consent to the Camden County Improvement Authority issuing county-guaranteed open-space trust fund revenue bonds and/or bond anticipation notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $27,000,000 to finance park and open-space improvements. No members of the public spoke during the hearing; the board moved to close the hearing by voice vote.
