West Long Branch approves Monmouth County cooperation agreements for community development and dispatch services
Summary
The council approved a FY2027–FY2029 Cooperation Agreement with Monmouth County for Community Development participation and a 2026–2030 PSAP/dispatch shared-services agreement with an initial 2026 fee of $176,924.
The Borough Council approved two intergovernmental agreements with Monmouth County at its June 17 meeting: a Cooperation Agreement for FY2027'1029 participation in the County's Community Development program (CDBG) and a Shared Services Agreement with the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office, Communications Division, for PSAP and police/fire/EMS dispatch services for January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030.
The Community Development Cooperation Agreement establishes a legal basis for the County and participating municipalities to apply for and administer federal CDBG funds under the Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act (N.J.S.A. 40A:65-1 et seq.). The PSAP/dispatch agreement sets an initial annual fee of $176,924.00 for calendar year 2026 and provides for a two percent annual increase in each subsequent year through 2030. The council authorized the Mayor and Borough Clerk to execute the agreements and directed that the PSAP agreement be filed with the NJ Division of Local Government Services as required.
The meeting record includes a roll call for the PSAP resolution that lists AYES as BRAY, CIOFFI, GOMEZ, NEYHART, PENTA, SNIFFEN; that roll call differs from the attendance reported earlier in the minutes (which recorded Cioffi as absent). The article reports roll-call text as recorded in the meeting minutes and flags the discrepancy for public record.
