Summary
The committee accepted Patrolman Nicholas Sachs’s resignation effective Dec. 15, 2024; authorized the police department to advertise to fill the vacancy; and approved purchase and installation of outfitting equipment for a police Tahoe not to exceed $10,136.72.
The Lebanon Township Committee accepted the resignation of Patrolman Nicholas Sachs, effective Dec. 15, 2024, and authorized the Police Department to advertise to fill the vacancy at its Dec. 18 meeting.
The committee also adopted a resolution authorizing purchase and installation of outfitting equipment for a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe used by the Lebanon Township Police Department. The purchase, from East Coast Emergency Lighting Inc. under New Jersey State Co‑Op Contract #23-FLEET-68813, was authorized not to exceed $10,136.72 and will be funded from the 2024 Capital Improvement Budget ($10,000) and the 2024 Police Department Operating Budget ($136.72). The Chief Financial Officer was authorized to issue the purchase order.
In related budget actions, the committee approved insertion of $1,641.07 received from the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety into the 2024 budget for the 'Body Armor Replacement Fund Program.'
The request to advertise for the vacant police position was approved by motion and consensus to allow recruitment to proceed. No discussion of candidates or hiring timeline was recorded in the minutes; the resignation and procurement were accepted by unanimous vote.
What happens next: the police department will advertise the open patrol position and the Finance Office will issue the purchase order for vehicle outfitting once procurement paperwork is completed.
