The Woodland Township Committee voted Dec. 12 to authorize a $132,176 down payment for a new fire truck and approved a resolution to enter executive session earlier in the special meeting.
Mayor DeGroff moved to approve the down payment for the replacement vehicle; Committeeman Herndon seconded the motion. The committee recorded votes of DeGroff-yes, Herndon-yes and Mull-yes, and the motion passed.
Earlier in the session, the committee adopted RESOLUTION 2024-77, authorizing the body to enter executive session. Committeewoman Mull moved to enter executive session, Mr. Herndon seconded, and the recorded votes for that motion were DeGroff-yes, Herndon-yes and Mull-yes. The committee later voted to close the executive session and reopen the public portion by a similar roll call.
Clerk Maryalice Brown read the meeting’s Open Public Meetings Act statement at the start of the special meeting, and a roll-call attendance was recorded listing Mayor DeGroff, Chief Viscardi (Fire Chief), Committeeman Herndon, Assistant Fire Chief Chris Stopero, Committeewoman Mull, FD attorney Nancy Valentino, Township Clerk/Administrator Maryalice Brown and Township Solicitor Mr. Burns as present.
Meeting minutes record that the committee said it had received an insurance payment related to a totaled truck and therefore required a $132,176 down payment toward a replacement vehicle. The transcript does not specify the amount of the insurance payment or additional financing details.
The meeting adjourned at 12:09 p.m. The transcript does not record further scheduling or timelines for delivery of the new apparatus.
