Wildwood Crest approves NJDOT grant application, $16.6M BAN authorization and a slate of routine resolutions
Summary
The borough commission unanimously adopted a series of resolutions including authorization to apply for an FY2027 NJDOT municipal-aid grant for Denver Avenue reconstruction, issuance of up to $16.6 million in bond anticipation notes, budget amendment for Shield Task grant funds, and several administrative items (refunds, contracts, and work orders).
The Wildwood Crest Borough Commission adopted a package of resolutions without substantive debate, approving grant filings, budget adjustments and routine administrative actions.
The commission authorized submission of a grant application and execution of a contract with the New Jersey Department of Transportation under the Fiscal Year 2027 municipal-aid program for reconstruction of Denver Avenue from New Jersey Avenue to Pacific Avenue. Clerk Trish read the resolution and the motion carried by roll call: Mrs. Basilotto, Mr. Franco and Mr. Cabrera voted "yes."
The governing body also authorized issuance of bond anticipation notes not to exceed $16,600,000 for borough financing needs; the resolution passed unanimously. The meeting record shows roll-call approval of multiple administrative resolutions, including canceling an erroneous 2026 sewer rent charge of $124 for 7201 Ocean Avenue, refunding a pool membership fee of $305 to Mark Grimes, awarding a contract for an amateur sand-sculpting contest, and authorizing payment to law-enforcement officers under the 2026 Shield Safety on Highway intensive enforcement project.
Other adopted items included a bureau engineer work order for the FY 2026 NJDOT Denver Avenue reconstruction project for engineering and construction-phase services not to exceed $65,000, an agreement with Blue Voice Ink for public-safety software for 2026–2028 at a not-to-exceed amount of $12,150 (mayor authorized to sign), and an amendment to the 2026 municipal budget to account for additional funding from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety for the Shield Task Grant. All votes on these items were recorded as "yes" for the three present commissioners; mover and seconder were not specified in the transcript.
The commission also moved to pay all properly authorized bills and accepted routine monthly reports for May 31, 2026.
Next steps: grant applications and contracts proceed through the relevant administrative steps; final budget records will reflect the Shield Task grant amendment.
