Commission prepares Sustainable Jersey recertification and green-team staffing ahead of January deadlines
Summary
Members reviewed Sustainable Jersey recertification steps, identified documents and staff contacts needed for evidence, and agreed to update the green-team membership and point spreadsheet to meet certification deadlines.
The environmental commission began preparing for Sustainable Jersey recertification, discussing green team membership, evidence collection and actions to reach required point thresholds.
Commissioners said most recertification work relies on township staff (DPW, IT) providing documents and that the commission will prefill a spreadsheet with last year’s actions, identify where updates are needed, and aim to add 10–15 extra points as a buffer. They discussed potential members (including staff from DPW and volunteers) and noted the council ultimately approves appointments. A commissioner said Sustainable Jersey uses a staged application and that the commission has almost a year to complete materials but will target earlier submission to meet certification at the League of Municipalities meeting.
Members tasked a small group to gather documents, confirm committee membership and work with staff to complete the application; no final submission was made at the meeting.
