Summary
Beach Haven Borough Council approved a multi‑item consent agenda Dec. 8, 2025, including ratification of a three‑year successor agreement with Teamsters Local 35 covering eight members with a total three‑year cost to the borough of $56,333. The package also included shared‑service agreements and the borough's emergency operations plan.
The Beach Haven Borough Council approved a multi‑item consent agenda at its Dec. 8 meeting, ratifying a three‑year successor collective negotiations agreement with Teamsters Local 35 and authorizing several shared‑service contracts and administrative resolutions.
Sherry, a borough staff member who summarized the labor terms, said the contract covers eight union members and includes pay increases of about 4–4.5% in year one (approximately $20,000 cost to the borough), about 4% in year two (about $17,800) and about 4% in year three (about $18,500). "Overall, the three‑year contract cost to the borough is $56,333," Sherry said. The council approved the consent agenda by roll call vote, with Miss Anderson, Mrs. Ball Miller, Mr. McAffrey, Miss Snyder and Mayor Lambert voting yes.
The consent package, read into the record before the vote, also included Resolution 253 (returning piling bonds); Resolution 255 (awarding two holiday badges to a contest winner); Resolution 256 (the Teamsters memorandum of agreement); Resolution 257 (a shared‑service agreement with the Township of Long Beach for license plate recognition data, referenced in the reading as "NJSA4A-1"); an addendum (contract addendum number three) to the service agreement with USG Water Solutions for maintenance and asset management of water storage vessels; a shared services agreement with the County of Ocean for fire inspection services under the Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act; Resolution 260 (approving Beach Haven's Emergency Operations Plan for two years); and Resolution 261 (repealing and replacing a prior resolution to allow the Beach Haven Police Department to participate in the Defense Logistics Agency Law Enforcement Support Office 1033 program.
The council also approved a bill list of $1,478,759.38 on a separate motion and roll call that recorded the same five yes votes. No members recorded nay or abstention on the votes as read into the record.
By approving the consent agenda, the council enacted several administrative and intergovernmental agreements in a single motion; the meeting record reflects that none of the listed resolutions were pulled for separate discussion. The borough posted an immediate release of the emergency re‑entry placard policy change and directed residents with questions to the Beach Haven Office of Emergency Management.
