At its April 30 agenda meeting the Borough of Beach Haven council approved a multi-item consent agenda that included personnel actions, contracts and capital project change orders.
Items listed on the consent agenda and approved by a single motion included Resolution 96 (acknowledging execution of an employment contract for Sharon Bowler as chief financial officer, treasurer, tax/water/sewer rent collector); Resolution 109 (hiring an on‑call permit clerk for the building department); Resolution 110 (amending a shared-service agreement for construction code enforcement services); Resolution 111 (approval to apply for a public fireworks display in the area of Taylor Avenue); Resolution 112 (salary adjustment for an employee identified as Washburn for additional technical-assistant duties); Resolutions 113 and 114 (procedures allowing the budget to be read by title and for municipal self‑examination as required by the Department of Community Affairs); a personnel manual amendment; Resolution 118 (opposing cuts to the Stay New Jersey property tax relief program for seniors); and Resolutions 119122 approving change orders two through five (dated April 17, 2026) for the 2025 emergency center renovations. The consent list also included resolutions cancelling sewer and water charges and a resolution authorizing a shared-service agreement with the Borough of Harvey Cedars for the use of off‑duty Beach Haven police officers.
Council approved the consent agenda by unanimous roll-call vote: Miss Anderson (yes), Mrs. Ball Miller (yes), Mr. McCaffrey (yes), Miss Snyder (yes) and Mayor Lambert (yes). The council also approved the evening bill list totaling $414,575.89 by the same unanimous vote.
The change orders listed for the emergency center (Resolutions 119122) were presented as part of the consent package; the council moved them forward without separate discussion. Several council members noted there were many resolutions on the agenda and asked whether any item needed to be pulled for discussion; none were pulled.
