Beachwood council approves $3.74M bills list and authorizes cash‑management participation, grants
Summary
The Beachwood Borough Council approved payment of $3,737,495 in bills, authorized participation in the New Jersey Asset & Rebate Management Program (NJ/ARM), approved a county interlocal for the Fatal Accident Support Team (F.A.S.T.), and authorized a Municipal Alliance grant application for substance‑use prevention.
The Borough of Beachwood Mayor and Council on Feb. 4 approved Resolution 2026-58 authorizing payment of the consolidated bills and claims totaling $3,737,495.00, the largest single item recorded on the meeting docket.
Council also adopted Resolution 2026-65 authorizing participation in the New Jersey Asset & Rebate Management Program (NJ/ARM) and approved U.S. Bank, N.A. as custodian for program funds; the resolution directs the CFO to execute the Program Agreement after review of the program information statement.
The council approved an interlocal services agreement with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office to participate in the Fatal Accident Support Team (F.A.S.T.) for calendar year 2026 (Resolution 2026-63). The agreement is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026 and remains in effect through Dec. 31, 2026.
Separately, the council authorized the Borough to submit a Municipal Alliance grant application to the Governor’s Council on Substance Use Disorder for fiscal year 2027, requesting $9,046 in grant funds with a required cash match of $2,261.50 and in‑kind match of $6,784.50 (Resolution 2026-69).
Clerk/Administrator Susan A. Minock read the resolutions into the record; the roll calls recorded the motions and approvals. The actions change the borough’s near‑term cash‑management and grant application posture and formalize participation in county and state programs the borough uses for traffic‑fatality support and substance‑use prevention.
