The police department will be getting 12 new cars from Winner Ford.
The Township Council on Monday unanimously approved the purchase of 12 new police vehicles from Cherry Hill's Winner Ford. Winner Ford submitted the only bid to supply the all-wheel-drive vehicles to the Police Department, according to Police Chief W. Harry Earle. The now-ordered vehicles are 12 "pursuit rated" sedans, labeled as "Police Interceptors." The plan initially was to purchase 10 sedans and two sport-utilty vehicles, but the price on the SUVs came in higher than the township wanted to spend, according to Earle, who noted the all-wheel-drive sedans afford police most capabilities of the SUVs. The township will pay Winner a total of $308,316 for the 12 vehicles, for an average price of $25,693 per vehicle. The new vehicles were …

Some New Jersey towns and school districts may be due restitution.
Wachovia Bank and Wells Fargo, its successor, agreed on Thursday to a $58.75 million settlement with a multi-state task force as part of an ongoing national investigation of alleged anti-competitive and fraudulent conduct in the municipal bond derivatives industry, according to the state Attorney General's Office. Ultimately, the settlement means certain municipalities, school districts and nonprofits in New Jersey may be entitled to restitution. However, the state Attorney General's Office does not have a list "for public dissemination" of the bond issuers, towns, school districts and organizations that may be entitled to restitution, according to Leland Moore, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office. Municipal bond derivatives are …

Council also approved a resolution to advertise for professional and banking services solely on the official township website.
For the second time in about a month, the Township Council on Monday approved a $545,500 bond ordinance on first reading that would allow the township to purchase 12 new police vehicles. The measure was approved by a 6-0 vote (Councilwoman Crystal Evans did not attend Monday's meeting). It is expected a public hearing on the bond ordinance will be held at Council's Nov. 28 meeting. The 12 vehicles being sought by the township for use by the police department are 10 "pursuit-rated," four-wheel-drive Ford sedans and two sport-utility vehicles, according to Business Administrator Tom Cardis. Council initially approved the police vehicle bond measure on first reading during its Oct. 12 meeting, setting the governing body up for a public …

The police chief says the need for some new vehicles is a 10 on a scale of one to 10.
The Township Council is considering a bond ordinance to fund the purchase of 12 new police vehicles. The 12 vehicles sought by the township for use by the police department are 10 "pursuit-rated," four-wheel-drive Ford sedans and two sport-utility vehicles, according to Business Administrator Tom Cardis. The ordinance, which could be approved as soon as Monday night, would allow the township to appropriate $545,500 and issue $518,225 in bonds or bond anticipation notes, which would require a $27,275 down payment. A public hearing will be held before Council votes on the measure. Township officials considered two financing options to add new vehicles to the police department's fleet—leasing the cars for three to four years or purchasing …

Officials indicate this will be the last payment the township will ever have to make for the landfill.
The Township Council will vote at its meeting Monday night to finally approve a bond ordinance for more than $1.2 million to pay its portion of a "cash call" from the trust put in place to monitor the Gloucester Environmental Management Services, or GEMS, landfill. Council unanimously approved the ordinance on first reading at its June 13 meeting. "This is hopefully the last cash call. I don't think they can make another cash call after this one," Business Administrator Tom Cardis said during the June 13 meeting. Remediation at the GEMS Superfund site, which the state closed in 1980, is being overseen by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Past "cash call" bond …
