Summary
On Oct. 28 the council approved minutes, authorized $594,959.67 in bills and passed a package of finance and operations resolutions, including telecom and 911 software contracts.
The Town Council took several procedural and financial actions on Oct. 28, approving minutes, bills and a series of resolutions and contract awards.
Councilman Daugherty moved to approve the Town Council conference and regular meeting minutes of Oct. 14, 2025; the motion was seconded by Councilman Hapgood and carried on a voice vote.
Councilwoman Hapgood moved bills and claims totaling $594,959.67; the motion was seconded and carried.
Councilman Hapgood presented a finance-policy package of seven resolutions that the council approved as a group. The package included: authorization for the chief financial officer to refund recreation and police department fees; drawing a warrant for planning-board escrow funds; authorizing the tax collector to release a tax-sale premium; amending the cash-management plan; and awards of contract to Monmouth Telecom Inc. for telephone services and to Motorola Solutions Inc. for integration of telephone services and VESTA 911 software.
In other formal actions, Councilman Healy moved a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign a settlement agreement to resolve a sanitary-sewer dispute with the Borough of Mountainside; the motion was seconded and carried. The public works report included two resolutions authorizing a change order for 2025 town-funded road improvements and authorizing an award of contract for Elm Street and Roway Avenue state-aid projects; both measures passed on voice votes.
The meeting record shows voice votes and carried motions but does not record individual roll-call tallies for these items; the minutes will reflect final procedural language and any contract documents will memorialize award details.
