Council approves multiple routine resolutions, grants, DOT project notices and bills
Summary
At its May 18 meeting, the council approved a set of resolutions including authorization to refund taxes, application for an Urban Enterprise Authority marketing grant (amount unclear in the transcript), sale of surplus property, a cultural festival permit, acceptance of a corrected $20,000 PSEG Foundation sustainability grant, a sheriff's services agreement for fire protection with Bay Harbor Township, notices to proceed for DOT design/permitting contracts, and approval of the bill list.
Pleasantville’s council approved a slate of routine but legally required motions and roll-call votes on May 18, moving several items forward and adopting multiple resolutions.
Resolutions approved or acted on included: - Resolution 99: authorize the tax collector to refund taxes on certain city properties (motion moved and approved by roll call). - Resolution 100/300: apply for an Urban Enterprise Authority marketing assistance grant. The transcript contains conflicting figures ($103,500 in one place, $403,500 later); the clerk’s office should be asked to confirm the correct grant application amount. - Resolution 101: authorize sale of surplus personal property on an online auction platform (approved by roll call). - Resolution 102: approve a cultural festival July 24–26 at 25 West Black Horse Pike (approved by roll call). - Resolution 1-3: accept a sustainability grant from the PSEG Foundation; a council member noted a correction and said the grant should read $20,000 rather than $10,000; the motion passed. - Resolution 104: authorize the sheriff's services agreement for fire protection and suppression services between the city and Bay Harbor Township (approved by roll call).
The council also approved notices to proceed for New Jersey Department of Transportation-funded design and permitting services for transit and roadway projects and approved the bill list after a motion. Two line-item figures for design/permitting were stated in the meeting record: $24,000 and $14,000 for discrete services; a separate project amount of $2,025,000 was cited for a transit-village project.
Roll-call votes were read into the record for several items (the transcript records “Yes” responses by individual council members during roll calls). Where the transcript spells member names, the clerk read each name and recorded a “Yes” vote (the record shows multiple “Yes” votes by members during roll-call). For any formal adoption text or dollar amounts that appear inconsistent in the transcript (for example, the differing grant amounts), the clerk’s final adopted resolutions and the meeting minutes should be relied on for official figures.
What’s next: staff to publish corrected agenda packet figures where needed and to present final contract language or funding confirmations at a subsequent meeting; the tax-abatement ordinance was scheduled for second reading on June 1.
