Hazlet committee approves police hire, two-year recycling deal and Bethany Road design support
Summary
The Hazlet Township Committee adopted consent resolutions authorizing the hire of a confidential police department secretary, a two-year recycling contract with Bayshore Recycling Corporation, and up to $5,000 in design support from T&M Associates for Bethany Road.
The Hazlet Township Committee approved a package of consent resolutions at its May 26, 2026 meeting that included hiring a confidential secretary for the police department, authorizing a two-year recycling services agreement, and contracting for limited design support on Bethany Road.
The committee hired Nonita Nichols as Confidential Secretary in the Hazlet Police Department, effective June 1, 2026, with a 2026 prorated salary of $68,500. The resolution states Ms. Nichols is eligible for the same benefits afforded to other non-contractual employees and will report directly to the chief of police.
The committee authorized the mayor to execute a two-year recycling-services agreement with Bayshore Recycling Corporation to receive and dispose of the township’s curbside recyclables. The Bayshore resolution cites New Jersey’s Mandatory Source Separation & Recycling Act and relevant public contracts law and states the contract will reduce the township’s recycling disposal costs.
The committee also authorized T&M Associates to provide design support, limited construction observations, and responses to contractor questions for the Bethany Road Improvements project, with contract services capped at $5,000. The chief financial officer certified that funds are available for the work.
All items were included in the meeting’s consent agenda and enacted by motion; the municipal clerk certified the adopted resolutions. The agenda shows these items were offered as a single motion; the transcript does not record an itemized vocal roll-call tally in the text provided.
