Council approves consent agenda including police equipment, vehicles and five‑year trash contract
Summary
Council approved a consent agenda that included purchases of police body worn cameras ($338,737.67), police vehicles ($260,250.40), emergency vehicle equipment, professional surveying agreements, grant extension requests, and a five‑year solid waste contract with Waste Management of New Jersey.
At its Dec. 16 meeting the West Windsor Township Council approved its consent agenda and a package of resolutions covering equipment purchases, professional services and contracts.
The council approved a resolution authorizing the business administrator to purchase body‑worn cameras for the police department from Axon Enterprises under a New Jersey state contract for $338,737.67 and a separate resolution to purchase six 2025 Ford Police Interceptor utility vehicles and selected options from Charles S. Winter, Inc. (Winter Ford) under state contract for $260,250.40. The council also approved resolutions for emergency equipment and non‑contract equipment (combined not to exceed $100,606.94) and two GeoTrek Environmental & Surveying professional services agreements for digital tax map and storm drainage/sanitary sewer system mapping (noted $250,000 and $62,830 in the agenda).
Other items approved included reduction of performance guarantees related to the Regency at West Windsor projects and multiple six‑month extension requests through the PMRS system for grant projects (Alexander Road pedestrian safety improvements, New Edinburgh Road resurfacing, and Conover Road bike connection to South Post Road). The council awarded a five‑year contract for municipal solid waste collection to Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. for the period Feb. 1, 2025 through Jan. 31, 2030; the mayor warned the new garbage contract will raise costs by roughly 70 percent, on the order of $300,000.
Council members moved and seconded the motion to approve the consent agenda and registered a roll‑call vote in favor. Resolution 2024‑R258 was pulled by the administration and not considered at the meeting.
No formal public hearings were held on these consent items at the meeting; the items were acted on as a block on the consent agenda.
