Atlantic County commissioners approve consent agenda, renew career-services contract and add $50,000 to legal-services agreement
Summary
The Atlantic County Board of Commissioners adopted a large consent agenda on June 26, 2026, including renewal of a career-services contract with DB Grant Associates and an amendment increasing an outside legal-services agreement by $50,000; the board also presented a recognition to Miss New Jersey 2026, Kylie Jean Wright.
The Atlantic County Board of Commissioners on June 26 approved a broad consent agenda that included the renewal of a competitive contract for career services and an amendment to a prior legal-services agreement that increases compensation by $50,000.
The meeting opened with procedural matters, a prayer and a presentation honoring Kylie Jean Wright, Miss New Jersey 2026. Wright thanked the commissioners and described her community-service initiative, saying, “I am so proud to be from Atlantic County, from the Jersey Shore,” and describing her work teaching self-defense and raising awareness about domestic violence.
On the business docket, the board moved to combine and adopt multiple grouped resolutions. Among the items approved was Resolution No. 306, to renew a competitive contract with DB Grant Associates, Inc., for the provision of career services. The motion carried on a roll-call vote with seven commissioners voting yes and one voting no (C Days). The clerk read the contract renewal during the meeting record.
The board also considered Resolution No. 3‑49, described by the clerk as an amendment to Resolution No. 108 (adopted March 3, 2026) to authorize an alternate method agreement with William Blaney, Esquire, for legal services, noting a net increase of $50,000. That resolution passed on a roll-call vote with six yes votes and two abstentions (C Days and Rafael).
Several other grouped consent resolutions and appointment blocks were combined and approved during the meeting with recorded roll-call votes. On the early public-comment period (agenda items only) and at the end of the meeting, no members of the public spoke on agenda items; the board closed public comment and adjourned.
The meeting record shows routine procedural votes to combine and adopt resolution blocks (3‑22 through 3‑33, 3‑34 through 3‑35, 3‑37 through 3‑48, 3‑50 through 3‑53, 3‑54 through 3‑56, and appointment items 3‑57 through 3‑59) and the withdrawal of resolution 3‑60. Where the roll-call was recorded, the clerk announced names and votes; two abstentions on the Blaney amendment were noted in the record.
Next steps: the minutes for the June meeting were adopted as presented during this session. No future hearing dates for the specific contract renewals or the legal-services amendment were specified on the record at the meeting.
