Council approves consent agenda including escrow release for RPM development and shuttle-bus purchase
Summary
Council enacted consent agenda R230–R237 by unanimous roll call, authorizing multiple routine and capital actions including a $307,000 (not to exceed) shuttle-bus purchase with a roughly 66.7% grant contribution, Schifano Construction paving contract (not to exceed $90,000), and escrow/bond release for RPM development (escrow $32,833; performance bond $745,000).
The council voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda (resolutions R230–R237), enacting a set of routine and procurement actions. The mayor had earlier read the items aloud: an emergency water interconnection agreement with Borough Farm Park; the part-time EMT appointment of Claire Seibert at $30 per hour (without benefits); raffle licenses for the Elks Club; release of escrow and bond guarantees for RPM Development related to the Civic Center and Community Place housing projects (escrow $32,833; performance bond $745,000; cash and safety guarantees $5,000 each); a contract award to Schifano Construction for paving improvements not to exceed $90,000 (through the Morris County co-op); a consent order compliance certification with fair share housing; and authorization to purchase a 2026 Endira electric shuttle bus not to exceed $307,000, with roughly 66.7% of the cost covered by a grant.
Council President John Forte moved the consent agenda and the council approved by roll call. No items were pulled for separate discussion at this meeting.
