5 issues in taxes budget with low priority
Lawn maintenance contractor change
Yellowstone Landscape flunked out — leaving clippings, missing areas, even mowing over trash — and never signed its $65,768.80 contract. Second-lowest bidder Maple Leaf Lawncare ($80,775) now takes over township lawn care.
Escrow refunds to applicants
The township is returning about $11,264 in planning and zoning escrows to eight applicants, plus a $500 street-opening deposit to HAH Development for completed road repair work on Waldorf Avenue.
Payroll services renewal (PrimePoint LLC)
The township locked in another year of PrimePoint payroll processing under its seven-year contract — up to $95,000 for the year.
Purchasing thresholds raised
With a certified purchasing agent on board, the township raised its no-bid quote threshold to $7,950 and bid threshold to $53,000 for 2026, letting staff handle smaller purchases without full committee bidding.
CFO Reappointment with Tenure
Elizabeth Peddicord was reappointed as Chief Financial Officer and granted tenure after her four-year term, meaning she can only be removed for good cause after a hearing.
