Montville rescinds earlier ALPR order after vendor error, then authorizes purchase of Packetalk cameras
Summary
After a vendor quote error prompted the township to rescind an earlier Packetalk ALPR purchase authorization and cancel the purchase order, the committee later authorized a new purchase of Packetalk ALPR cameras under a cooperative contract for $101,132; minutes record the police chief's recommendation and fund certification by the CFO.
Montville Township on June 9 rescinded an earlier authorization to purchase Packetalk automatic license‑plate‑reader (ALPR) cameras after a vendor error increased the original quote, then later approved the purchase of Packetalk ALPR cameras through a cooperative purchasing contract.
Resolution 2026‑232 rescinded Resolution 2026‑224 and canceled Purchase Order 26‑01187 for Packetalk ALPR cameras after the vendor identified an error on the original quote. The minutes state the Police Chief and the Township Administrator recommended rescinding 2026‑224; the rescission was adopted and is effective immediately.
Later in the meeting the Committee adopted Resolution 2026‑235 authorizing the purchase of Packetalk ALPR cameras from CDWG under the Educational Service Commission of New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing System (ESCNJ) Contract #ESCNJ/AEPA 26D. The minutes show the Chief of Police recommended the purchase and the Chief Financial Officer certified funds were available; the account line lists $101,132.00 for "Fixed ALPR Cameras." The motion recorded in the minutes shows Deputy Mayor Matthew S. Kayne as both mover and seconder; roll call then recorded yes votes from Committeewomen June Witty and Daria Senaldi, Deputy Mayor Kayne and Mayor Frank W. Cooney, with Committeeman Chris Fano absent.
The minutes do not record a public exchange on privacy, data retention, or use policies for ALPR cameras. The committee action therefore (a) cancels the earlier PO and (b) reauthorizes an ALPR acquisition under a cooperative contract with a lower documented account amount in the minutes; the record does not indicate operational or retention policies were changed at the meeting.
