Planning board approves $6,000 increase to 2025 planning-board attorney contract
Summary
The board unanimously approved resolution 257, a change order adding $6,000 to the 2025 planning-board attorney professional services contract, bringing the new not-to-exceed total to $8,500 (exclusions noted for litigation and escrow-funded matters).
The Bernards Township Planning Board approved resolution 257 on July 22, 2025, authorizing a $6,000 change order to the board’s 2025 professional services contract for planning-board counsel, increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $8,500.
The resolution recited the board's original appointment (resolution 253, Jan. 2, 2025) of Jonathan E. Drill, Esquire, of the firm listed in the resolution as Stickle, Koig, Sullivan, and Drill, as planning board attorney, and stated the chief financial officer certified available funds in the 2025 professional legal services account. The change order excludes matters of litigation and matters funded by escrow.
A motion to approve the resolution was moved and seconded and passed on a roll-call vote with all voting members recorded as 'yes.' The board placed the resolution on file for public inspection in the planning-board office.
Next steps: the resolution will be filed in the planning board records, and the additional funds are available for planning-board legal work consistent with the contract and the stated exclusions.
