On June 11, committee members authorized the renewal of the agreement for the Western Monmouth Active Shooter Training Group.

The participants are the Allentown, Colts Neck, Englishtown, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan and Marlboro police departments, and the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office.

A resolution passed by the governing body states that the agreement is beneficial to the municipalities involved by allowing interagency standardization of active shooter response protocols and by facilitating a rapid response and coordination in the event that officers from multiple agencies may be the first responders in neighboring communities for these types of incidents.

This will be the second year the Western Monmouth Active Shooter Training Group will be in effect in the eight municipalities. The initial agreement was authorized in 2018, with Freehold Township serving as the lead agency and provider.

In other business, committee members approved a fireworks display to be held at the 16th annual Freehold Township Day and Concert at the Park at Michael J. Tighe Park, which will be held on July 13 (rain date, July 21).

And, the committee authorized a $500 increase in a $73,528 contract awarded to Rohrer Enterprises (Rohrer Bus Sales) for the furnishing and delivery of a new 20-passenger minibus. The change order will increase the contract to $74,028. Officials said the increase was for a back-up camera on the vehicle.

Finally, committee members rejected bids for the 2019 Opatut Park bike path improvement project. Three bids were received: Earle Asphalt Company ($207,113), Fiore Paving Co. ($152,830) and Gres Paving Co. ($124,823).

Township Engineer Timothy White recommended that all three bids be rejected because they exceeded the estimated cost of the project, according to a resolution.
