Lebanon Committee approves package of resolutions for audits, equipment, roads and grants
Summary
On Oct. 1 Lebanon Township approved a slate of resolutions including a corrective action plan for the 2024 audit, purchase of a DPW trailer, road resurfacing and guardrail contracts funded in part by county and DOT grants; the voucher list for $4,020,264.76 was also approved.
The Lebanon Township Committee voted Oct. 1 to adopt a bundle of routine municipal resolutions covering audit follow‑up, equipment purchases, road contracts and grant revenue insertions.
Key approvals included Resolution 158‑2025, which adopts the corrective action plan required by Local Finance Notice 92‑15 in response to the township’s 2024 audit; Resolution 159‑2025 to purchase a 2025 tilt‑series trailer (total $43,159.04, with $15,000 from a Clean Communities grant and the balance from capital funds); and a series of public‑works contracts funded in part by a prior DOT grant.
The committee authorized an award to Tilcon New York Inc. for resurfacing the township portion of Muscony/Conover Road ($206,540.20) and contracts for guardrail installation (Road Safety Systems LLC, $100,257) and traffic striping (Dan Swayze & Son Inc., $4,800.09). Committee members noted most road work was funded by an earlier 2023 grant award and that anticipated in‑field work would likely occur in May–June of next year.
The committee also approved the acceptance and insertion of county law‑enforcement grants into the budget: $24,000 from Hunterdon County and smaller awards from Somerset County for DWI and distracted‑driving programs. Committee discussion clarified that a $29,000 county grant will offset part of previously discussed security hardware purchases for the township building, and officials said the funding helps reduce the township’s capital outlay; committee members explicitly stated some grant funds will not be used for facial‑recognition software.
The voucher list (Resolution 174‑2025) authorizing payment of township bills was adopted; the total amount read aloud during the meeting was $4,020,264.76.
All motions on these routine resolutions were moved, seconded and approved on roll call.
