Summary
At the Aug. 20 meeting the committee approved multiple resolutions inserting County revenue into the municipal budget, adopted a resolution memorializing state increases in public‑bidding thresholds, approved shared‑service agreements for school resource officers, and awarded procurement contracts for vehicles, security upgrades and rock salt; the vouchers resolution totaled $3,338,163.19.
The Lebanon Township Committee approved a broad package of resolutions and procurement actions at its Aug. 20 meeting, including the insertion of several special items of revenue received from the county into the municipal budget and multiple contracts for services and equipment.
The committee approved a series of resolutions inserting county funds into the budget (separate line items totaled, by resolution, $22,100; $2,100; $2,800; $1,120; $1,400; and $700). Staff also presented Resolution 126‑2025 to adjust the municipality’s public‑bidding thresholds following a state increase; staff said the governor raised the bid threshold (transcript referenced $53,000) and corresponding quote thresholds were updated.
Shared‑service agreements with regional school districts were approved for school resource officers and special law‑enforcement coverage: Voorhees Regional High School District and the local school district contracts were authorized at values shown in the meeting (e.g., $150,003.99 and amounts near $74,963). The committee also approved a professional services outsourcing agreement with Hart Hazely LLC (d/b/a Extra Duty Solutions) to manage extra‑duty police administration, explaining the company will collect funds and disburse payments to officers.
The committee awarded non‑fair‑and‑open and cooperative purchases for a mobile message signboard, a Memorial Park building roof replacement (award not to exceed $46,550), school communications/RTC systems, VOIP services and the purchase/outfitting of 2025 police vehicles (Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Interceptor) including lighting equipment. A rock‑salt contract was awarded (anticipating 2,000 tons at $65.81/ton). The vouchers resolution (No. 149‑2025) authorizing payment of bills, claims and statements totaled $3,338,163.19; staff noted much of that total was school‑related obligations.
Resolutions passed by roll call in sequence; individual contract awards were described by amount or “not to exceed” values in the meeting packet and on the record. Committee members explained that non‑fair‑and‑open awards met procurement thresholds and required vendor disclosures when applicable.
