Millville court administrator reports $148,797 in receipts and backlog improvements

Lisa Genteschi, the municipal court administrator, presented a quarterly report for June through August 2026 and summarized caseload, receipts and operational improvements.

"During this period we received a total for those 3 months of $148,797.33," Genteschi said, specifying that $13,971.04 was dispersed to Cumberland County and $62,206.27 remained with the City of Millville; she said the remainder goes to the state. Genteschi said the court recorded 1,774 tickets and 660 complaints during the quarter, including 151 city-ordinance matters and 509 warrants and summonses.

Genteschi also told commissioners the court backlog fell from 86% to 44% since she began in 2023. Commissioners asked for examples of charges that generate county splits and discussed the challenges posed by failure-to-appear rates.

The commission thanked Genteschi and said they would work with her to refine future reports and add requested detail.
