Voorhees committee adopts package of resolutions including CDBG revenue insertion and redevelopment amendment

The Voorhees Township Committee approved a package of resolutions at its Nov. 24 meeting, covering budget items, contracts and administrative authorizations.

The resolutions read into the record included: memorializing an executive session from Nov. 10 (resolution 350-25); amendments to tax records/refunds (351-25); inserting $38,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) revenue into the 2025 budget (352-25); a budget revenue insertion or project listed in the reading as involving $57,840 (read in transcript as resolution '253-25'); authorizing current-year budget transfers (354-25); authorizing an award through the North Jersey Wastewater Cooperative Pricing System for the purchase of sewer pump repair parts (355-25); authorizing submission of a strategic plan for the Governor's Council on Substance Use Disorder grant cycle (356-25) covering July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027; authorizing the township to utilize a contract via the Cherry Hill Cooperative Pricing System for traffic-signal and school-flasher emergency response and modifications (357-25); accepting a performance guarantee for Cava LLC (358-25); approving a first amendment to a redevelopment agreement with Hillbook and Brownstone Company (359-25); raising the public bidding threshold to $53,000 (360-25); and authorizing an extension of a shared-services agreement with Berlin Township for police chief services through Dec. 31, 2025 (361-25).

A motion and second were made to adopt the listed resolutions. During the proceedings one committee member stated they would abstain from resolution 350-25 because they had not been present at the Nov. 10 executive session; the abstaining panelist was not named on the record. The chair called for a voice vote and the motion carried. No detailed roll-call tallies for each resolution were provided in the transcript.

Several resolutions authorized procurement under cooperative pricing systems and program/grant submissions; the transcript does not include full contract values, award vendors (except a performance guarantee acceptance for 'Cava LLC'), or the detailed terms of the redevelopment amendment beyond its being a "first amendment" naming Hillbook and Brownstone Company as conditional redeveloper. Where amounts or vendor details were not stated in the meeting record, the transcript lists them as "not specified."
