Pennsauken committee approves consent agenda including $84,685.81 Hampton Trail revenue insertion

The Pennsauken Township Committee approved a consent agenda by roll call at its Dec. 18 meeting that bundled a series of routine resolutions into a single action.

Listed items included an amendment to the professional engineering services contract for the Burlington‑Camden Veil project with McCormick Taylor; an insertion of special items of revenue in the budget for fiscal year 2025 in the amount of $84,685.81 for the Hampton Trail project; a municipal budget transfer; two separate grant applications to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (one described as for the built environment and another for a comprehensive public‑space urban intervention); a resolution authorizing refunds for tax overpayments; contract amendments for construction of the Welcome Old Jade's Place playground (an increase of $10,034 and 32% for decking/hardscaping and landscaping work); a resolution canceling property taxes for qualifying veterans determined 100% permanently and totally disabled by the Veterans Administration; a vacation‑period resolution; and a transfer of a plenary retail consumption license (license number recorded on the agenda).

A motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded; roll call responses were recorded on the record and the item passed. The transcript records affirmative 'Yes' responses from committee members during the roll call. No detailed debate on individual consent items was recorded during the meeting; committee approved them as a block.

The minutes show other routine business and presentations were handled later in the meeting.
