The Seaside Heights Borough Council on Feb. 18 approved a consent agenda that included payment of bills totaling $2,938,256.91 and a package of resolutions covering contracts, personnel and intergovernmental agreements.
Council members approved the consent agenda in a vote recorded after a motion by Council Member Harry Smith and a second by Michael Carbone; the minutes list the roll call in favor as Vito Ferrone, Rich Tompkins, Bob Triano, Michael Carbone and Harry Smith.
The resolutions adopted by the consent agenda included: authorization to pay bills in the amount of $2,938,256.91; endorsement of candidates into the Class I Special Law Enforcement Officer Academy; authorization to refund designated tax accounts; a shared services agreement with the County of Ocean for the SWAT and Crisis Negotiation Team; appointment of electric utility consulting engineers; execution of Change Order No. 1 to the contract between the Borough and Underground Utilities Corp.; execution of an agreement with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection under contract number WBTA2024-00048; expression of intent to promote Sergeant Lawrence Mayberry to police lieutenant; and authorization to sell surplus property on an online auction website.
The minutes do not record extended debate on these items; they were presented as part of the consent agenda and approved together. The entry for the change order and the DEP agreement lists contracting partners (Underground Utilities Corp. and the New Jersey DEP contract number WBTA2024-00048) but does not provide the dollar values or contract detail in the minutes.
The minutes also record an earlier, separate roll-call motion to approve the Feb. 4, 2026 meeting minutes (mover: Michael Carbone; second: Rich Tompkins), which passed with the same five council members voting in favor.
What happens next: the measures approved by resolution at this meeting will proceed according to the text of each adopted resolution and any implementation steps identified by borough staff; the minutes do not record deadlines or further conditions for most items.
