October 27, 2026 Meeting of the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners

The October 27, 2026 meeting of the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners included an update on preparations for winter road operations. County staff reported that the county maintains about 246 miles of roads and plans to deploy 67 county snowplow and dump trucks, with contractors able to provide up to 38 additional trucks across 19 routes. The county has purchased a new snowplow truck and several Mason dump trucks, is acquiring a Ford F-750, and has invested in snow-clearing equipment for the Parks Department. Staff also described plans to coordinate contractors with county crews during major storms and reported shared-service arrangements with Morris County and local municipalities for plowing and salt supplies. No costs, contract numbers, or vendor names were provided, and no specific procurement award was presented for a vote.

The commissioners also approved the minutes, proclamations, personnel agenda, and bills list; the transcript does not provide details of the bills or identify procurement items among them. Other discussion included recognition of student designs for the 2026 “I Voted” stickers, a recap of a breast cancer awareness walk, and a resident’s concerns about alleged drainage and environmental issues. Staff mentioned plans for an automated AI phone system to help track calls, but no purchase or contract action was described.
