Woolwich committee agrees to apply for shared‑services study grant with $8,500 application fee
Summary
The committee authorized submission of a shared‑services study grant application through Triad Associates, approving an $8,500 application fee contingent on CFO certification and a 'not to exceed' condition; the fee would be reimbursed if the grant is awarded.
Mayor Matthias distributed an email from Triad Associates about grant opportunities to fund a shared‑services study. The application deadline is May 31; the application requires an $8,500 fee that would be reimbursed if the grant is awarded.
The committee voted to move forward on the condition that the chief financial officer provide certification of funds. Committeeman Frederick proposed an amendment requiring (1) CFO certification of funds to cover the $8,500 application fee, (2) a firm 'not to exceed' amount of $8,500, and (3) recoupment of the fee if the grant is awarded; Deputy Mayor Nocentino seconded the amendment and the motion passed (Frederick YES, Williams ABSTAIN, Nocentino YES, Matthias YES).
Committee members mentioned potential participation by the fire company and neighboring municipalities including Logan Township and Swedesboro Borough, with possible participation by Harrison Township. Minutes record that all participating municipalities must pass resolutions indicating willingness to join the study prior to the May 31 deadline.
