Wildwood Crest commissioners unanimously approve bulk‑trash fee increase, recreation rates and multiple contracts
Summary
The Borough of Wildwood Crest approved Ordinances 1439 and 1440 (bulk‑trash fee increases and updated recreation rates) on second and final reading and adopted a slate of routine resolutions and contracts, including purchase of turnout gear and awards for inspection services, all by unanimous 3–0 roll calls.
Wildwood Crest commissioners on a unanimous vote approved two ordinances on second and final reading and adopted multiple resolutions covering equipment purchases, contracts and personnel reappointments.
Clerk of the borough read Ordinance 1439, which amends chapter 37‑12 on removal of bulk trash to increase certain fees, and the commission moved and seconded its placement on second reading and final passage by title only. After opening and closing a public hearing with no comments, the commission passed the ordinance by roll call (Commissioners Schiff, Franco and Caba voting yes).
The commission then placed and passed Ordinance 1440 by title only. That ordinance amends chapter 56 governing the Recreation Commission and updates rates and fees for facility rentals and participation in certain events, including Junior Lifeguard programming. Again, the public hearing produced no comments and the measure passed on a unanimous roll call.
In a series of resolutions that followed, commissioners voted to:
- Authorize a shared‑services agreement with the City of Wildwood for maintenance of Mor’s Field and Higgy’s Field for Little League; the licensing agreement with Greater Wildwood Little League for use of those fields in 2025; and related facility arrangements (adopted unanimously). - Approve the purchase of turnout gear for the fire department under state contract in the amount stated in the resolution ($74,999.53) and adopt the resolution by unanimous vote. - Adopt a final negative change order to the NJDOT municipal aid reconstruction contract (decreasing the contract amount as recorded in the meeting materials). - Award a contract to Trinity Code Inspections LLC for on‑site inspections and plan review services covering plumbing and electrical subcodes for 2025, and authorize a proprietary purchase with H. Barber & Sons for beach surf repair services as presented. - Authorize refunds for property/utility overpayments (payable to CoreLogic), certain appropriation transfers, bank account signatories, and the reappointment of Patricia (municipal clerk), Lindsey Herman (tax collector) and Francine B. Springer (chief financial officer), all by unanimous roll calls.
All formal motions and recorded roll calls in the meeting minutes show the three commissioners present voting in favor of the listed ordinances and resolutions; no roll‑call no votes, abstentions or recusals were recorded in the transcript for these items.
The meeting agenda and roll call language were read into the record by the clerk; no substantive public objections to the ordinances or resolutions were voiced during the hearings.
Next steps: the ordinances will be published and advertised "according to law" as stated by the clerk, and procurement and contract awards proceed per the resolutions adopted during the meeting.
