Pequannock council adopts routine resolutions, approves Route 23 sewer change order
Summary
Council adopted a package of routine resolutions on June 25 — including insertion of a Recreation Improvement Grant into the budget, contract awards for vehicle/equipment purchases, and a change order to loop a water main for the Route 23 sewer project — with a unanimous roll‑call approval recorded.
The Pequannock Township Council voted on a slate of resolutions and contract actions at its June 25 meeting, adopting items listed under the evening's consent slate and recording roll‑call votes.
Resolutions read into the record included an insertion of a Recreation Improvement Grant into the 2024 budget (agenda citation R22‑2441), renewal of designated alcohol control licenses, authority to submit a NJDOT grant application and execute a grant contract for the Sunset Road reconstruction project, discretionary awards of contracts for an animal‑control vehicle body and an excavator trailer, and Change Order No. 4 for the Route 23 sewer contract increasing the PNA Contractors contract by $32,400, among others.
Council moved to adopt R2024‑141 through R224‑148. Roll call recorded: Mrs. Florence Lynch — yes; Mr. Cole — yes; Mrs. Russell — yes. The engineer explained that looping a dead‑end water main would avoid stagnation, improve pressure and fire protection and allow the sewer installation to proceed without temporary above‑ground water mains; the water utility, not the sewer utility, would absorb the change‑order cost.
Next steps: staff and the engineer will implement the approved change order with the contractor and proceed with the Route 23 sewer installation under the revised contract price. No contested votes or amendments were recorded.
