Woolwich Committee unanimously adopts new stop-control ordinance, approves consent agenda including fireworks contract
Summary
At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Woolwich Township Committee unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-16 to add stop-control areas for pedestrian and vehicle safety and approved a consent agenda that included a $5,000 fireworks contract and purchases under a Sourcewell contract.
The Woolwich Township Committee on Sept. 15 adopted Ordinance 2025-16, amending Chapter 182 (Vehicles and Traffic) to establish various stop-control areas intended to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety. Committeewoman Williams moved the adoption, Committeeman Frederick seconded, and the ordinance passed on a roll-call vote with all five members voting yes.
The Committee also approved a consent agenda covering Resolutions R-2025-250, R-2025-251, R-2025-253, R-2025-254, R-2025-255, R-2025-256 and R-2025-257. Those items authorize a street-opening permit for 104 Balsam Road; Payment No. 3 to Wyndham Construction LLC for Phase I of Locke Avenue Park development; Payment No. 1 to Think Pavers Hardscaping LLC for the FY2024 Local Recreation Improvement Grant Center Square Road walking trail rehabilitation; tax-collector authority to transfer or refund overpayments; a request for a three-month extension to award an NJDOT Municipal Aid resurfacing contract for Garwin Road (Phase I); disposal of obsolete township equipment; and purchase of two Hustler Super Z mowers under NJ Sourcewell Contract #112624-HTE.
Resolution R-2025-252, a contract with D&M Fireworks LLC for a holiday fireworks display in the amount of $5,000, was removed from the consent agenda for discussion. Committee members discussed the contract’s rain-date provisions and whether the current 90-day window should be extended to 180 days to provide scheduling flexibility. The Committee agreed to discuss a possible extension with the vendor while proceeding with the contract’s current terms and then voted to adopt R-2025-252 unanimously.
The Tax Collector reported $12,607,576.68 remitted for August, a figure entered into the record during the meeting’s reports. Several routine motions carried by roll call, and the Committee recorded a small number of abstentions during the bills and purchase orders vote: Committeeman Frederick abstained from Verizon and Doug Horton bills, and Deputy Mayor Nocentino abstained from Doug Horton bills.
The Committee authorized a closed session later in the agenda to discuss contractual matters related to the Police PBA contract. The meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 6, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
