Cumberland County commissioners approve slate of contracts, grants and opt in to national opioid settlement
Summary
At the April 28 meeting the board unanimously approved numerous resolutions awarding contracts and professional services, exercised contract renewals, authorized grant applications and opted the county into a national opioid grant/settlement; each item was moved, seconded and approved by those present.
The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved a broad consent and prearranged slate of resolutions on April 28, voting to award multiple contracts, exercise renewals, authorize grant applications and opt the county into a national opioid grant and defendant settlement.
Resolutions handled during a single consent sequence included awards for plumbing repair services, planning-board counsel, labor and labor-law services, human services program change orders, a deflection and diversion strategic consulting contract, and an authorization for Cumberland County to "opt in to participate in [a] national opioid grant and defendant settlement," among other items. Commissioners recorded affirmative votes for each motion as read by the clerk.
The board also approved a purchase using the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract for Avigilon CCTV equipment and accessories and approved a change order for architectural services for the design of an all-inclusive playground, both moved and approved as part of the meeting's resolutions.
During consent-agenda review, the clerk also read a lengthy list of contract renewals and administrative items (one-stop operator contracts, corrections food services, GPS offender tracking renewals, youth services renewals, and IT and transportation cooperative purchases). The meeting included a resolution to authorize the county's participation in the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program through a shared services agreement with Vineland, Millville and Bridgeton.
Votes on the recorded resolutions were taken after motion and second; the affirmative responses were recorded for those present at the meeting. No substantive debate was reflected on these routine items during the session.
