Camden County introduces bond‑refunding measures, approves block of routine resolutions; one item fails for lack of motion
Summary
The Camden County Board of Commissioners introduced two resolutions to authorize county‑guaranteed bonds and refundings, scheduled public hearings for Oct. 16, 2025, approved a block of resolutions (1–71) with several recorded abstentions, and said Resolution 72 did not pass after no motion was made.
The Camden County Board of Commissioners on the afternoon meeting introduced two county bond resolutions authorizing financing for capital equipment and infrastructure and authorizing the county’s guarantee of county‑guaranteed loan revenue bonds and refunding bonds. The board scheduled public hearings on both introduced resolutions for Oct. 16, 2025, at the Camden County Courthouse, 520 Market Street, 6th Floor, at 12:00 p.m.
The chair described Resolution Introduction No. 1 as providing county consent for financing the acquisition and installation of certain capital equipment and for refunding certain county‑guaranteed loan revenue bonds issued by the Camden County Improvement Authority, including a tax‑exempt series A of 2025 and refunding series B of 2025. The chair cited statutory authority referenced in the transcript as “NJSA 40 37 a dash 56.”
A separate introduction, Resolution No. 2, authorizes the county to guarantee payment of principal and interest on county‑guaranteed loan revenue bonds (County Capital Program Series A of 2025 and refunding Series B of 2025) to be issued by the Camden County Improvement Authority for similar capital purposes and to refund callable maturities of prior series.
After introductions, the board proceeded to vote by unanimous consent on a block of routine resolutions numbered 1 through 71. The clerk recorded 'Yes' votes with several abstentions noted in the roll: Commissioner Dyer voted yes; Commissioner Cooley Fleischer voted yes but recorded an abstention on item 13; Commissioner Nash voted yes but abstained on items 56 and 67; one transcript spelling appears as "Commissioner Betteridge" (also shown elsewhere as Bediritz) recorded yes to all; Commissioner Young voted yes to all; Deputy Director McDonald voted yes to all but abstained on item 65; Director Cappelli voted yes with abstentions noted on items 3, 14, 21, 41 and 67. The board chair then called for a motion on Resolution 72; no motion was made and the chair announced that Resolution 72 did not pass.
Minutes of the previous meeting and permission to proceed with the comptroller’s report were approved earlier in the meeting by motion and roll call. The clerk recorded votes for those routine matters during the meeting.
What happens next: public hearings on the introduced bond resolutions are scheduled for Oct. 16, 2025, at noon at the Camden County Courthouse. The transcript does not record final adoption of bond ordinances or the full terms of any bond sale; those would require subsequent formal action after public hearing and any required notices.
