Mark Platta recently attended the Fire Advisory
Board Meeting this month for our township’s fire services. He presented
the finance report for the 2015 year as well as the 2016 year that the township should budget for at our annual meeting. There is a fire station open house in March for the town board members who represent
the districts they serve to attend to inform us of the services they provide etc. We
will determine who will attend at our next meeting.
The board discussed the proposed hours for Justin
Burslie, our planning administrator, to be present in the town hall building to be available for our township’s planning
& zoning needs. Mr. Burslie suggested Wednesday afternoons 1:00-3:00pm, as
well as by appointment. It was determined to go with this time frame for the
time being and get feedback from residents at the annual meeting on preferred hours.
Zack Jackson requested that the contract between the township and NJPA be placed on the township website. Mr. Jackson did receive a physical copy of the contract at the February 10th meeting. Susan Amick will continue to gather information from Justin Burslie (PZ Administrator) and NJPA regarding
the matter.
Dave gave a road report update. He had sold an entry permit to Joe Schommer.
Discussion was had in regard to the canvass meeting
which will follow the township election. Dave Schultz appointed Randy Powers
to serve in his place on the canvass board that night. Due to him being unable to attend.
