Lacey Township Committee approves several staff appointments, grant applications and a $7.7 million bill payment
Summary
The Lacey Township Committee appointed an assistant business administrator and a telecommunicator trainee, accepted multiple resignations, authorized grant filings and approved payment of township bills totaling $7,713,049.02; members also approved affordable-housing compliance resolutions.
The Lacey Township Committee on Thursday approved a slate of administrative resolutions, including the appointment of an assistant business administrator and the authorization of grant applications and municipal payments.
The committee adopted Resolution 2026-099 appointing George Resita (name in record) as assistant business administrator and authorized Resolution 2026-100 appointing Tyler Morris as a full-time public safety telecommunicator trainee for the police department. It also accepted resignations under Resolutions 2026-101 and 2026-102 (police department clerk and dispatcher, respectively) and approved a municipal recycling tonnage grant application with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
The committee voted to authorize payment of township bills totaling $7,713,049.02. The clerk read the bills packet and members recorded affirmative votes on the motion. Two resolutions added to meet an upcoming March 15 compliance deadline — the fourth-round affordable housing marketing plan (Res. 2026-107) and the affordable housing spending plan (Res. 2026-108) — were read and approved.
Mayor Kenneth welcomed the appointee, saying, "Welcome aboard, George." Committee members moved and seconded the motions and recorded "aye" votes during the roll calls shown in the minutes.
Why it matters: The appointments and grant filings affect township operations and compliance with state housing requirements; the approved bill payment and the size of the bills packet are part of the town's near-term cash flow and budget management.
The committee accepted the reports provided by municipal staff for the year and the month and then opened the meeting to public comment. The meeting adjourned without entering executive session.
