On Jan. 12 the Township Committee voted to pay General Code to update Township and Land Use Board ordinances and to award the annual electronic tax-sale contract to RealAuction.com LLC; several resolutions and property dispositions were discussed but tabled or not voted.

Other administrative matters were discussed but not recorded as formal votes during the Jan. 12 meeting: committee members discussed appointment of Daniel Hutchinson as Municipal Court public defender under a shared-service agreement with the City of Vineland and a proposed resolution to support Fire District #4's pursuit of federal funding for a replacement truck.
