7.28.26 Commissioner Meeting

The Atlantic County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on July 28, 2026, which included routine procedural matters, scholarship presentations, and multiple resolutions related to grants, professional service agreements, bid contracts, change orders, and appointments. Notably, the board approved professional service contracts with Fox Rothschild LLP and Laney Weinberg and Curio PC for legal services, with contract amounts not to exceed $70,000 and $50,000 respectively. The meeting also featured an extended discussion led by the Mayor of Brigantine regarding ongoing issues with the Brigantine Promenade, a county-owned property. The mayor highlighted concerns about incomplete construction work, including ADA-compliant ramps damaged by erosion and non-functioning LED lighting, and emphasized the need for clear communication and resolution between the city and county. County officials confirmed that the remaining work would be completed without requiring the city to sign a new maintenance agreement as a condition. The board also discussed maintenance responsibilities under a 50-year agreement and the challenges posed by erosion and storm damage. The meeting concluded with updates on building elevator repairs and adjournment.
