Matawan council approves several shared‑service and personnel resolutions; introduces purchasing‑agent ordinance
Summary
On June 4, the Matawan Borough Council approved a series of routine resolutions — including shared‑services and a personnel promotion — and introduced an ordinance to establish a qualified purchasing agent, setting a June 16 public hearing.
The Matawan Borough Council on June 4 approved multiple routine resolutions including a shared‑services agreement for construction and zoning services, participation in a county community‑development cooperation agreement, and a promotion in the municipal clerk's office. The council also introduced an ordinance to create a Qualified Purchasing Agent position and scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. on June 16, 2026.
Mayor Joseph Altomonte read the items and called for motions as the clerk conducted roll calls. Resolution 26‑06‑03 authorized a shared‑services agreement involving the construction and zoning department and personnel. Resolution 26‑06‑04 authorized the mayor and municipal clerk to execute a cooperation agreement with Monmouth County for the community development program under the uniform shared services and consolidation act. The council also approved Resolution 26‑06‑05, which requests notice from the borough tax assessor regarding the filing of form 18:12A‑1.14, and Resolution 26‑06‑06, asking the Monmouth County Board of Taxation or New Jersey Legislature to permit municipalities the option to participate in or withdraw from the Monmouth County Assessment Demonstration Program.
Council members moved and seconded the consent items and voted to approve them in bulk. The council also approved Resolution 26‑06‑07, promoting Judy Angler to full‑time Deputy Borough Clerk, and passed Resolution 26‑06‑08 to authorize payment of bills.
The council introduced Ordinance 26‑13 to amend chapter(s) addressing the administrative organization and to establish a Qualified Purchasing Agent as the contracting agent under the Local Public Contracts Law; the mayor said the public hearing is set for June 16 at 7 p.m. A copy of the ordinance and related documents will be available at the clerk’s office prior to that hearing.
No substantive debate on these items was recorded in the meeting transcript; motions were moved, seconded, and passed by roll call as read by the clerk. The measures as introduced or approved are routine municipal governance items that advance procurement authority, interlocal cooperation, and personnel administration.
