Township approves staff appointments, a Motorola radio contract and several routine payments
Summary
The committee confirmed several personnel moves (including Joseph Lee as IT director), approved a Motorola first-responder radio contract funded by a grant, authorized procurement steps for municipal electricity and a vehicle purchase, and adopted the monthly bill‑payment resolution noting a $8.37M Board of Education tax payment and a $617,043 construction invoice.
Montgomery Township's committee approved a slate of personnel appointments, contract awards and routine payments at its Feb. 20 meeting.
Personnel: The committee adopted Resolution 25‑5287 to authorize three appointments and promotions, including Joseph Lee as IT director (Lee introduced himself and said he brings 30 years in IT, with the last 16 years in education). The committee also approved promotions in public works and an open‑space trust position; votes were recorded by roll call with one abstention on some items as noted in the minutes.
Contract award: Resolution 25‑2‑89 authorized award of a contract to Motorola Solutions Inc. for first‑responder radios purchased under the New Jersey state contract. Officials said the purchase is covered in part by a previously received grant of approximately $1.4 million for first‑responder radio upgrades.
Procurement and equipment: Members approved Resolution 25‑2‑90 to allow the township to solicit electricity supply rates through an online auction for municipal buildings (not a residential program). The committee also approved purchase of a Ford F‑550 Mason dump truck through the Morris County cooperative pricing system, with open‑space trust funds noted where applicable.
Payments: The CFO pointed out the bill list includes a Board of Education tax payment of $8,370,806 and a $617,043 payment to Allied Construction Group for the Stage 2 flood protection project before the committee adopted the bill‑payment resolution.
Where votes recorded an abstention, meeting minutes list a single committee member abstaining on the identified resolution; the transcript does not change the outcome of the resolutions, which the committee carried on the record.
