Absecon City Council approves consent agenda, appointments and bill list; ordinance delayed
Summary
The council approved its consent agenda and bill list by roll call, appointed a part-time recycling zoning assistant and an interim deputy clerk, and removed Ordinance 2025 from tonight’s agenda for revision; council members also reported on capital projects and road work.
Absecon City Council voted to approve the consent agenda and the bill list during its regular meeting, while removing Ordinance 2025 from tonight’s agenda so staff can revise the measure.
The council read consent items that included introduction authorization for the 2025 municipal budget (item 91), continued use of Network Connectivity Inc. for municipal IT services (item 92), appointment of a part-time recycling zoning assistant, listed as Stan Kby, Senior (item 93), and appointment of an interim deputy clerk, Kayla Lovado (item 94). The presiding officer said items on the consent agenda are considered routine and are enacted by a single motion unless a member requests separate discussion.
A roll-call vote to move the consent agenda and to accept the bill list was recorded in the transcript with the following members registered as voting yes: Clark, Evans, Light, Parker, Barker, Sykes and D. Rose. The bill list total is recorded in the audio transcript as "$263,28.73"; the total is unclear in the recording and is marked as not specified in clarifying details.
At the start of the meeting the presiding officer announced that Ordinance 2025, scheduled for introduction, had been removed from the agenda and will be revisited at the next meeting because the ordinance needed a revision to its authorization language.
Council members gave committee reports and project updates. Councilwoman Parker said a committee will meet on the 22nd to follow up on flag replacements; the vendor estimated new flags possibly arriving in July and noted flags typically last about two years. An administrator provided updates on capital projects, naming the Crestview Avenue sidewalk project (next phase starting soon) and the 2024 road program, which will resume drainage and pipe work on Fourth Avenue. The administrator also said the city received county review comments on Shore Road and plans to respond promptly.
The council asked the state Department of Transportation about installing flexible delineators near the McDonald’s approach to discourage unsafe left turns; officials said DOT’s response has been inconclusive so far.
The meeting closed after routine procedural motions to end public comment and adjourn.
