Palmyra approves consent agenda of grants, contract awards and sewer change order
Summary
Council approved Resolutions 2025-138 through 2025-150 on a single consent motion, including grant appropriations (developer preservation $250,000; NJDOT $275,860; Safe and Secure $29,713), ERI contracts for storm sewer assessment ($21,500) and a traffic study ($9,000), and a $23,105 change order for West 3rd Street sewer repair.
On May 5 the Borough of Palmyra enacted a multi-item consent agenda (Resolutions 2025-138 through 2025-150) that covered grant appropriations, contract awards, and a construction change order.
Key items read into the record and approved under the single motion included:
• Developer Neighborhood Preservation Grant — $250,000 (Resolution 2025-139).
• Tactical Body Armor Grant — $1,641.07 (Resolution 2025-140).
• 2025 NJDOT Grant for E. Charles/Park Avenue — $275,860 (Resolution 2025-141).
• Recycling Tonnage Grant — $9,393.12 (Resolution 2025-142).
• Community Energy Planning Grant (CEPG) — $10,000 (Resolution 2025-143).
• Alcohol Education Rehabilitation Grant — $245.17 (Resolution 2025-144).
• Safe and Secure Grant — $29,713 (Resolution 2025-145).
• Resolution authorizing the Land Use Board preliminary investigation for Block 107, Lots 14 & 24 as an area in need of redevelopment (Resolution 2025-146).
• Change Order #2 to Coastline Excavating & Site Services for West 3rd Street sewer repair — increase $23,105, adjusted contract $374,530 (Resolution 2025-147).
• Contract award to Environmental Resolutions, Inc. (ERI) for the Storm Sewer Assessment Project — $21,500 (Resolution 2025-148).
• Contract award to ERI for a traffic engineering study at Morgan Ave/E. 2nd St./Elm Ave — $9,000 (Resolution 2025-149).
• Establishment of 2025 employee compensation rates (Resolution 2025-150).
Council approved the consent agenda by voice/roll call with all present voting in favor. The minutes record that any resolution requiring separate discussion would have been removed from the consent agenda, but none were removed.
Why it matters: the consent agenda bundles operational grants and engineering contracts that fund local infrastructure projects and municipal programs; the NJDOT grant and sewer repairs directly fund transportation and stormwater/storm-sewer work in the borough.
What’s next: contract awardees and grant administrators will proceed with procurement and project initiation per resolutions and ERI will be engaged for the storm sewer assessment and traffic engineering study.
