Audubon commissioners approve resurfacing contract, NJDOT grants and routine resolutions
Summary
At the Nov. 17 meeting, Audubon commissioners approved multiple routine resolutions including NJDOT grant insertions totaling roughly $602,438 for Hampshire Avenue reconstruction phases, awarded a $325,880 resurfacing contract to Think Pavers Hardscaping, LLC, and appointed Deborah Roncace as Qualified Purchasing Agent; one abstention was recorded on a shared-service agreement.
Audubon borough commissioners on Nov. 17 approved a slate of routine motions and resolutions dealing with budget insertions, contracts and appointments.
Among the actions, the council approved two Chapter 159 budget insertions for New Jersey Department of Transportation grants: $357,528 for Hampshire Avenue Phase II and $244,910 for Hampshire Avenue Phase III and South Davis. The board recorded the grant insertions as part of the 2025 municipal budget updates.
The council also awarded a $325,880 contract for resurfacing Hampshire Avenue Phase 2 to Think Pavers Hardscaping, LLC. Commissioner David F. Alemi moved the contract award and Commissioner Andrea Wendell seconded the motion; the minutes state the motion carried by unanimous roll call.
Other items approved without substantive discussion included Resolution 2025-182 authorizing payment of bills for November 2025 and Resolution 2025-185 accepting the 2024 municipal audit. The council also approved a shared-service agreement with the Audubon Public School District for Qualified Purchasing Agent services and then, by a separate resolution, appointed Deborah Roncace as the borough's Qualified Purchasing Agent.
A separate shared-service agreement with the County of Camden to support unhoused residents (Resolution 2025-189) was approved; the minutes record an abstention by Mayor Robert A. Jakubowski on that vote. The minutes do not record individual roll-call votes beyond noting unanimous approvals on other items.
