Pittsgrove Committee adopts consent agenda, awards Sassafras Shore Road contract and accepts municipal alliance grant
Summary
The Pittsgrove Township Committee unanimously adopted a consent agenda Nov. 26 that included awarding a contract for Sassafras Shore Road reconstruction to South State, Inc., accepting a County of Salem municipal alliance grant for substance-use prevention, and approving routine tax and insurance-related resolutions.
The Pittsgrove Township Committee voted unanimously on Nov. 26, 2025, to adopt a consent agenda covering Resolutions No. 145-2025 through 157-2025, a package that included a contract award for road reconstruction, grant acceptance, tax adjustments for a veteran, several appointments and insurance-fund actions.
The consent motion was taken by Committeeman Harz and seconded by Committeewoman Spinelli; the formal adoption motion was made by Committeeman Schmidt and seconded by Committeewoman Spinelli. The roll-call vote was five in favor (Harz, Schmidt, Spinelli, Yeagle, Copare) and none opposed.
Key items adopted on the consent agenda included Resolution 155-2025, awarding a contract to South State, Inc. for Sassafras Shore Road (East) reconstruction; Resolution 148-2025, approving acceptance of a Pittsgrove Township Municipal Alliance Grant through the County of Salem from the Governor’s Council on Substance Use Disorder; and resolutions to authorize property tax cancellations/refunds for a tax-exempt veteran and to renew membership and appointments for the Statewide Insurance Fund. Mayor Fiore J. Copare presented Resolution 157-2025 honoring Lena Virga for performing at township events after the resolutions were adopted.
The minutes record that the Township Engineer’s report (Fralinger Engineering, PA) summarized related roadway projects connected to FY2025 NJDOT Trust Fund funding and a FY2026 application for Palatine Lake Drive and Sheep Pen Road; the report was acknowledged by the Committee but no separate vote on engineering projects was recorded in the minutes.
The consent-adopted resolutions also included administrative housekeeping measures such as establishing a fair and open process for awarding professional services (2025-156), appointing a fund commissioner and alternate for the Statewide Insurance Fund (2025-153), and filling seats on the Rent Control Board (2025-154). Where the minutes do not specify dollar amounts or contract terms, those figures were not provided and are therefore not reported here.
The Committee scheduled second readings and public hearings for two introduced ordinances—2025-07 and 2025-08—for Dec. 29, 2025. No further substantive debate on the consent items was recorded in the meeting minutes.
