Clark Township Board of Adjustment elects officers for 2024, approves annual report and contract recommendation
Summary
At its June 24, 2024 reorganization meeting the Clark Township Board of Adjustment elected Ed Ruth chair, named Doug Crock vice chair, confirmed Janet Gentry as board secretary and Kelly Carey as board attorney, approved the annual report (three cases: two granted, one denied), and noted a contract award recommendation.
Janet Gentry opened the June 24, 2024 reorganization meeting of the Clark Township Board of Adjustment and introduced herself as the acting chairperson. "My name is Janet Gentry, and I will be the acting chairperson to start off tonight's meeting," she said, and read the Pledge of Allegiance.
Gentry stated that the meeting was held in compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act and that the annual schedule of meetings had been mailed to the Star Ledger and posted locally. After roll call, members nominated and approved the board's officers for 2024. The board elected Ed Ruth as chair, Doug Crock as vice chair, Janet Gentry as board secretary and Kelly Carey as board attorney; the appointments were adopted by a voice vote and a formal resolution was signed to record the actions.
The board reviewed its Board of Adjustment roster and asked members to notify Gentry after the meeting about any corrections to listed information. Members also confirmed the published meeting schedule for 2024.
The board's annual report for the prior year was presented. The report documented three cases handled by the board during the year: two were granted and one was denied. The board approved a resolution to transmit the annual report to the planning board and the municipal council so they could review any patterns and consider whether ordinance or zoning changes were needed.
The township clerk forwarded correspondence noting that the business administrator had reviewed proposals and recommended awarding a professional services contract for 2024 to the firm Pashman, Stein, Walter, Hayden; the recommendation was noted to the board as correspondence. The board also moved to approve the minutes of the June 26, 2023 meeting (motion by Mark Hayden; second by Chris Jerny) and approved them by voice vote.
Before adjourning, staff said a few applications were pending and thanked the board for attending the reorganization meeting. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded, and the meeting concluded.
