Council approves consent items, reviews $153,347 EOC change order and other budget items
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda and bills; the transcript lists a $153,347.37 change order for EOC plumbing replacement, a $19,044.88 credit, and a listed bill total of $4,410,713.88. One consent item was removed pending a vendor approval.
The council approved the consent agenda after removing Resolution 174 for further vendor confirmation. The clerk read multiple items, including a resolution (Res. 186) to purchase two code‑enforcement vehicles from Ocean County surplus and several change orders for the 2025 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) renovation.
Change Order No. 15 (dated 07/01/2026) was described in the meeting as $153,347.37 for complete demolition and replacement of water and sanitary piping at the EOC facility. The transcript recorded Change Order No. 17 (dated July 24) as a credit of $19,044.88 for the domestic water line. The transcript includes a garbled amount for Change Order No. 16; the clerk's wording in the record was "3,003 thousand $423.94," which appears to be an error in the record and requires staff clarification.
Council approved the bills by voice vote; the clerk noted the bill list this evening was $4,410,713.88. The meeting also included an item authorizing an executive session to discuss potential litigation relating to Atlantic City Electric's battery energy-storage system. No formal action on litigation was taken in public session.
