Mantua Committee adopts consent agenda, including lease for community center nutrition site

The Mantua Township Committee voted Tuesday to adopt a consent agenda that includes a lease agreement with Gloucester County for use of the Mantua Community Center as a nutrition site and several routine administrative resolutions.

Deputy Mayor Legge moved to adopt the consent agenda and Committeewoman Lukens seconded; the committee recorded the motion as approved with all members voting in favor. A separate roll call earlier in the meeting recorded four yes votes for an unstated approval motion; the transcript does not specify which item that earlier motion referred to.

The consent package listed resolutions R-137-2025 through R-146-2025. Notable items included R-137-2025, approving a lease between the Township of Mantua and Gloucester County for the community center to host the county’s nutrition site; R-138-2025, authorizing a $90 housing inspection fee refund for 530 Galahad Court; R-139-2025, authorizing refunds for overpayments on firearm permits; R-140-2025, authorizing tax refunds; and R-141-2025, which rescinds Resolution R-136-2025 that previously authorized a letter of support and a memorandum of understanding with FP ROWAN LLC. The consent list also included an application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program for 2026 park development funding (R-142-2025), approval of a tax court judgment for 550 Bridgeton Pike (R-143-2025), participation in a community service work-site agreement (R-144-2025), authorization to transfer 2025 overpayments to 2026 (R-145-2025), and designation of the reorganization meeting for Jan. 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (R-146-2025).

The resolutions were presented as routine items and adopted together; the transcript records the motion and that “all were in favor” but does not provide individual vote tallies for each resolution.
