Cape May County approves surveillance MOA, awards contracts and introduces $6 million capital ordinance
Summary
The board approved a package of routine resolutions including a memorandum authorizing automated license plate recognition and CCTV, awarded an environmental consulting contract, rejected cemetery beautification bids, and introduced a $6 million capital ordinance with a Jan. 27 public hearing.
At its Jan. 6 meeting the Cape May County Board of Commissioners approved multiple routine and operational resolutions and introduced a capital ordinance that will be the subject of a public hearing later this month.
Among the approved items, the board authorized execution of a Memorandum of Agreement among Cape May County, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Jersey State Police Division to install automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology and closed‑circuit television (CCTV) systems at various county locations. The resolution to execute the MOA was listed among the consent/resolution packet approved on roll call.
The board also approved a shared services agreement to provide County dispatch services to the Borough of Avalon and awarded Contract No. C5‑204 to Lomax Consulting Group, LLC, for environmental consulting services under a one‑year term with two one‑year renewal options. Separately, the board rejected all bids submitted for the Enhanced Beautification Project at the Cape May County Veterans’ Cemetery – Phase II because the lowest bid substantially exceeded cost estimates.
Financial and administrative housekeeping items approved included adoption of the 2026 Cash Management Plan, certifying officer appointments, establishment of the 2026 County Library tax rate, and the adoption of the 2026 mileage reimbursement rate set at 72.5 cents per mile. The board also authorized renewals of professional liability coverage for the Firefighting Academy instructors and surety bonds for the county chief financial officer and sheriff.
The board introduced Capital Ordinance No. 1‑2026, which appropriates $6,000,000 from the County Capital Improvement Fund for various capital improvements and equipment; a public hearing is scheduled for Jan. 27, 2026.
Several procurement and contract actions were recorded in the minutes; roll‑call votes and votes to approve the consent agenda are reflected in the published minutes.
