The council’s decision to move polling locations seeks to benefit both the school and voters by reducing congestion and ensuring a smoother voting process. The change, approved by the Board of Elections, will relocate districts six and seven to the community center, while district three will move from the community center to a nearby cabin. The council emphasized efforts to inform residents of these changes through website updates, signage, and printed information on ballots. There were discussions about asking the Board of Elections to send out additional notices to ensure voters are well aware of the new locations.

Another focal point of the meeting was the council’s efforts to establish a formal senior committee in collaboration with the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services. The initiative aims to create an outreach program for seniors living throughout the community, not just those in senior housing facilities like Stanfield Towers. The council has met with several community members to form this committee and plans to involve them in monthly networking meetings hosted by the county. This effort includes budgeting support and connecting the committee with existing services. The council highlighted the importance of attracting more participation, especially from men, and plans to seek grants to support these services.

Additionally, the council discussed an upcoming on-call maintenance contract to handle larger maintenance issues beyond the capabilities of the Department of Public Works (DPW). The aim is to secure lower prices and avoid being overcharged during emergencies. The council also announced the completion of an accessible playground project, with further accessibility improvements to be coordinated by the DPW.
