The Harvey Cedars Board of Commissioners on July 21 adopted Ordinance #2025-018 to amend Chapter 7 of the borough's ordinances governing sewer and water base and usage rates and certified its 2024 annual audit.
The board also approved a series of resolutions, voting to authorize Change Order #2 for the 2024 Water Main Replacement Project with Underground Utilities for $17,469.38, increasing the contract to $825,782.88; to award a contract under New Jersey State Contract #17-FLEET-00749 to Elite Vehicle Solutions for police sirens, emergency lights, software and vehicle accessories in the amount of $26,124.39; to appoint Christine Lisiewski as Acting Municipal Clerk for an additional one-year term pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:11-9; to authorize a fireworks display on Aug. 30, 2025 with a contract not to exceed $25,000 to Serpico Pyrotechnics, LLC/Starfire Corporation (Joint Venture); and to transfer an Inflatable Water Rescue Sled to the Township of Stafford.
Motions to adopt each ordinance and resolution were made by Commissioner Joseph F. Gieger and seconded by Mayor John M. Imperiale. The meeting record shows Mayor Imperiale and Commissioner Gieger recorded as voting in favor and Commissioner Paul G. Rice recorded as absent on the recorded roll calls for the items presented.
The resolution adopting Change Order #2 states the original contract amount was $796,648.00 and that Change Order #1 (previously authorized) added $11,665.50; Change Order #2 adds $17,469.38 for additional quantities identified by the borough engineer.
The police equipment purchase was awarded to Elite Vehicle Solutions of Wall, N.J., under the referenced state contract; the resolution notes a certificate of availability of funds executed by the chief financial officer and identifies the appropriation line C-04-55-215-000-243 (Ord. #2025-10 Police Vehicle).
Resolution #2025-087 appoints Christine Lisiewski as Acting Municipal Clerk and states she is actively seeking Registered Municipal Clerk certification. The resolution text in the meeting packet lists an effective date of May 10, 2025 for the appointment and includes a "PASSED ON" line reading Aug. 5, 2024; the transcript reflects the resolution as presented and adopted during the July 21 meeting.
The board also authorized payment of bills under Resolution #2025-090.
What happens next: most items are routine administrative approvals and procurement actions. The Change Order will be executed by the mayor as authorized; the police equipment vendor will be issued the purchase pursuant to the state contract and the fireworks vendor will be engaged for the Aug. 30 event per the contract authorization.
