Paulsboro council approves shared code‑enforcement agreement with East Greenwich
Summary
Council voted to authorize a shared‑services agreement for code enforcement with East Greenwich Township, agreeing to a flexible schedule beginning July 1, 2026; East Greenwich will pay $25,000 for the first year under a three‑year framework with a one‑year commitment.
The Borough of Paulsboro on June 9 approved a shared‑services agreement to provide code enforcement support to East Greenwich Township, with services expected to begin July 1, 2026. Mayor Philbin of East Greenwich told council his township wants Paulsboro’s code officers to train E.G. staff and to handle property‑maintenance enforcement under a flexible schedule. Administrator Marino said the arrangement contemplates a three‑year term, with an initial one‑year commitment and East Greenwich paying $25,000 for the first year.
Council members asked how the schedule would affect Paulsboro’s own enforcement workload; Administrator Marino said the plan anticipates about 12 hours per week dedicated to the shared service and that Paulsboro’s code office would maintain coverage for local needs. The council adopted Resolution R.26.146 authorizing execution of the agreement. The minutes record no formal dissent; questions focused on staffing and whether regular municipal duties would be impacted. The agreement’s start date and initial payment were recorded in the meeting minutes as the implementation specifics.
