Woolwich Township Committee adopts consent agenda covering permits, refunds, personnel and redevelopment agreements
Summary
On June 1, 2026, the Woolwich Township Committee unanimously adopted a consent agenda that included street-opening permits, a tax cancellation for a church-owned parsonage, a community garden refund, an IT services addendum with Kingsway Regional Board of Education, a police-department elevation, and consents related to Oak Grove redevelopment properties.
Woolwich Township Committee members on June 1 unanimously adopted a multi-item consent agenda that bundled resolutions on permits, refunds, a personnel elevation and redevelopment agreement consents.
Mayor Matthias asked for a motion to approve Resolutions R-2026-278 through R-2026-289; Committeewoman Williams moved and Deputy Mayor Nocentino seconded. The roll call vote was recorded as: Committeeman Frederick, Committeewoman Minhas, Committeewoman Williams, Deputy Mayor Nocentino and Mayor Matthias — all voting yes on the consent package.
Solicitor Alice clarified one item after Committeeman Frederick said he had not seen a deed in the packet: the property information had been provided by the county and the resolution authorizing tax cancellation (R-2026-279) concerns a church-owned parsonage that is the residence of the lead pastor even though the church itself is not located in Woolwich.
The consent agenda adopted the following (summarized): a correction to the title company named in a prior refund resolution (R-2026-278); authorization for the tax collector to cancel taxes on a church-owned property (R-2026-279); a refund for Community Garden Plot #31 to applicant Tomme Jacob (R-2026-280); an addendum to an interlocal services agreement with the Kingsway Regional Board of Education to increase the number of managed IT devices (R-2026-281); multiple street-opening permits (R-2026-282 through R-2026-286); a departmental elevation within the police department for Jerry Parker (R-2026-287); and consent to assignment/assumption of redevelopment agreements and an assignment of a financial agreement related to Oak Grove redevelopment properties (R-2026-288 and R-2026-289).
The minutes show the committee adopted the consent agenda by roll call and did not request removals. The meeting record does not show additional discussion or objections beyond the clarifying exchange on the parsonage deed. The committee proceeded to other agenda items.
