Summary
The council approved a six-item consent agenda by unanimous roll call including payment of bills, designating Police Chief Kline as LESO agent, appointing Padula Law Group as labor counsel, authorizing electricity-supply procurement via online auction, engaging engineering services for an NJIB SFY 2025 Clean Water application, and preparing NJDOT-funded bid specifications for 2025 street work.
At its Feb. 20, 2025 meeting the Lakehurst Mayor and Council approved a six-item consent agenda that passed on a unanimous roll call.
The resolutions on the consent agenda were: Res. 25-077 (payment of bills); Res. 25-078 (appointing Police Chief Kline as agent to procure surplus items from the Law Enforcement Support Office Program, LESO); Res. 25-079 (appointing Padula Law Group, LLC as labor counsel to the borough); Res. 25-080 (authorizing the purchase of electricity supply services for public use on an online auction website); Res. 25-081 (authorizing a professional services agreement for engineering services related to an NJIB SFY 2025 Clean Water application); and Res. 25-082 (authorizing preparation of bid specifications for the 2025 Union Avenue, Pine Street and Myrtle Street construction project funded by NJDOT).
Bernadette Dugan moved to approve the consent agenda and Brian DeMio seconded. The roll call recorded all members present voting in favor: Steve Oglesby, Brian DeMio, Bernadette Dugan, Jeffrey Emmons, Patricia Hodges and Councilman McCarthy. No separate discussion was requested and no items were removed from the consent agenda for separate consideration.
The approvals set in motion routine administrative steps: Police Chief Kline was designated as the borough agent for LESO surplus procurement; Padula Law Group will serve as labor counsel; staff are authorized to pursue an online auction option for electricity supply services; the borough authorized engaging engineering services to support an NJIB Clean Water grant application for state fiscal year 2025; and borough staff may prepare NJDOT-funded bid specifications for the cited street reconstruction project. Specific contract amounts, awardees (for electricity procurement), and engineering scopes were not listed in the minutes and are therefore not specified.
The meeting also approved Feb. 6, 2025 minutes and adjourned at 7:42 p.m.
