Summary
By roll call the council approved a consent agenda that included multiple change orders for MacPeek Road contracts, a $50,000 paratransit agreement with Sussex County, an emergency elevator repair, and authorization for continued participation in the Arrive Together program with Newton Medical Center.
The Vernon Township Council approved a consent agenda on March 2 that included several contract change orders for the MacPeek Road project, a transportation agreement with Sussex County, an emergency elevator repair and a memorandum of understanding to continue participation in the Arrive Together program with Atlantic Health System, Newton Medical Center.
The roll call approving the consent agenda shows AYES: Contino, Ooms, Rizzuto, Sparta and Higgins. Key financials and contract changes recorded in the minutes include: a decrease in the Tilcon New York milling & paving contract to a revised $193,096.27 (Resolution #26-107); an increase of Road Safety Systems' contract to $124,392.00 (Resolution #26-108); a small net decrease to Dan Swayze & Son's line-striping contract to $6,777.15 (Resolution #26-105); Campbell Foundry Co.'s adjusted total of $992.80 (Resolution #26-106); authorization of an emergency elevator repair to Otis Elevator Company not to exceed $20,793.65 (Resolution #26-103); and a 2026 agreement with Sussex County for senior and disability transportation not to exceed $50,000 (Resolution #26-104).
Council also authorized fireworks displays for several applicants and tentative dates in 2026 (Resolution #26-101) and authorized the Police Chief to execute the Arrive Together memorandum of understanding with Newton Medical Center to support response to behavioral-health crisis calls (Resolution #26-109).
The minutes cite statutory bases where applicable, including N.J.S.A. 21:3-1 (fireworks) and N.J.S.A.40A:11-6 (emergency procurement). Several items referenced the Township Engineer's February 20, 2026 memos supporting change orders. The minutes do not record separate roll-call votes for each consent-item because the items were adopted together as a consent agenda.
