Summary
At its regular meeting the Montgomery Township Committee approved several resolutions by roll call: a budget transfer, a telecommunication lease at Cherry Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant, an amended outdoor assembly permit for Princeton Show Jumping, an interlocal public‑health mutual aid agreement, a contract for fire‑protection services, and later ratified a settlement after closed session.
The Montgomery Township Committee approved a slate of routine resolutions by roll call during its regular meeting.
Key outcomes:
- Resolution 26‑3‑116 (budget transfer): The committee authorized a 2025 budget transfer of $70,000 from the police salary and wages appropriation to the accumulated absences appropriation to reflect compensatory time liabilities.
- Resolution 26‑3‑117 (cell‑tower lease): The committee awarded a lease for a public telecommunications facility at the Cherry Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant to Wireless Edge Towers, LLC; the successful bidder will pay $46,212 annually plus a 41% revenue share on subtenants.
- Resolution 26‑3‑118 (outdoor assembly permit): The committee adopted an amended outdoor assembly permit for Princeton Show Jumping with modified event dates after construction and safety reviews by municipal departments were satisfied.
- Resolution 26‑3‑119 (public‑health mutual aid): The committee authorized an interlocal services agreement to participate in mutual‑aid public‑health coverage with neighboring jurisdictions and health commissions.
- Resolution 26‑3‑120 (fire‑protection contract): The committee awarded a $12,694.50 contract to Oliver Fire Protection & Security Services for fire suppression, alarm monitoring and inspection services for municipal facilities.
- Resolution 26‑3‑122 (settlement ratification): After convening in closed session, the committee returned to open session and ratified a settlement agreement by roll call.
Roll calls recorded affirmative votes from the members present. Several items were discussed briefly by staff to confirm operational details and public‑safety clearances; none of the adopted resolutions required additional public hearings beyond those already held.
Next steps: Implementation and contract execution will proceed under township staff supervision; the chair noted staff would continue to coordinate logistics for the Cherry Valley site and notify affected neighbors where appropriate.
